All of the research that we do in our lab relies
on the generosity of our subjects - people that come in and help
us do our research. There are many types of experiments that are
happening in our group, and we are always looking for people excited
about involvement in research. Most of our studies involve some
type of compensation, as well as parking expenses. Below are some
guidelines to see if you fit our inclusion criteria. Also consider
joining one of our registries if you
enjoy being involved in research studies. |
| Who are
you? |
| |
I am an adult who has had a stroke. |
| |
I am a healthy adult who has not had a stroke. |
| |
I am a child with cerebral palsy, or I am the
parent of a child with cerebral palsy. |
| |
I am a healthy child who does not have cerebral
palsy, or I am the parent of a healthy child that does not have
cerebral palsy. |
|
| Adults
who have had a hemiparetic stroke |
| |
Who: You must have suffered from a stroke more than
1 year ago. The stroke must have affected your ability to
move your arm. If you have suffered more than 1 stroke then
you DO NOT qualify to volunteer for these research studies.
|
| Age:
40-80 years old. |
| Types of things
you may be asked to do: Have your arm cast, move while
a robot monitors your position, wear an EEG cap, put electrodes
on your skin. |
|
| Adults
who have not had a stroke |
| |
Who: You must have never suffered a stroke or other
type of traumatic brain injury.
|
| Age:
40-80 years old. |
| Types of things
you may be asked to do: Have your arm cast, move while
a robot monitors your position, wear an EEG cap, put electrodes
on your skin. |
|
| Children
with cerebral palsy |
| |
Who: You must have the spastic hemiparetic form of
cerebral palsy and be able to lift your arm and extend at
least a little.
|
| Age:
8-18 years old. |
| Types of things
you may be asked to do: Have your arm cast, move your
arm while a robot monitors your position, wear an EEG cap,
put electrodes on your skin. |
|
| Children
that do not have cerebral palsy |
| |
Who: You must be healthy and have no diagnosed movement
disorders. You must be able to follow directions.
|
| Age:
8-18 years old. |
| Types of things
you may be asked to do: Have your arm cast, move your
arm while a robot monitors your position, wear an EEG cap,
put electrodes on your skin. |
