|
Arno Stienen | 2008 | Predoctoral Fellow By quantifying multi-joint upper-extremity movement control, I strive to elucidate the neural connections between abnormal muscle couplings and spasticity, both of which are often observed in individuals with stroke but their interactions seldom correctly understood. |
|
Joanna Clair | 2008 | Predoctoral Fellow Joanna completed a project in the area of human
neuromuscular electrical stimulation. She investigated
the role sensory feedback, evoked by the stimulation,
has on motoneuron excitability after stroke. |
|
Thierry
Keller | 2004 | Principal Investigator Theirry's research interests are in the fields of rehabilitation
engineering, neural prostheses, signal processing and
human-machine interaction. He has developed various
neuroprostheses that are used to improve walking and
grasping functions in spinal cord injured and stroke
subjects. |
