Our research is directed toward the understanding and management of upper limb movement disorders in patients who?ve suffered a stroke. We have ongoing research that explores these ideas using both interventional and mechanistic approaches. Our current projects include:
Interventional
- Physical (S. Wolf et al EXCITE) [NCMRR, NIH: HD/NS 37606]
- Behavioral
- Caregiver (P. Clark et al) [NIH: NR07612]
- Clinician
- Virtual Environment (MIT)
- Visual imagery (Butler) [Emory CAM and VA Rehab R& D]
Mechanistic
- fMRI/TMS (FICIT) (D. Good et al) [NIH: HD40984]
(Emory: K. Sathian, S. Wolf, A. Butler, H. Mao)
- Biomechanics (KEY) (J. Alberts) (VA Merit Review)
- Molecular ? Biomarkers as precursors to neuronal reorganization.
Facilities
