Intermuscular coordination of hemiparetic walking.
Role: co-Investigator
The long-term objectives of this work are to show that measures of abnormal
muscle coordination in poststroke walking will predict the outcome of therapy,
assist in defining the specific muscle coordination changes associated with
various therapeutic interventions, and correlate with structural and functional
studies of the nervous system such that the underlying mechanisms can be
better understood.

Locomotor experience applied post-stroke
Role: Co-PI
The objective of this 5-year, phase-III, single-blind, multi-site randomized
clinical trial is to assess if there is a difference in the proportion of
people who successfully recover walking ability between a specialized locomotor
training program that includes use of body weight support and a treadmill
as a rehabilitation modality provided 2 months post-stroke or 6 months post-stroke
and a non-specific, low intensity exercise (control) intervention.

Differential effects of robotic vs. manually-assisted locomotor training
The primary objective of the proposed research is to assess and compare
the effects of robotic-assisted versus manually-assisted locomotor training
using body weight support and a treadmill on the sub-tasks comprising the
task of walking (propulsion, transition from stance to step, stepping, and
equilibrium).

Mechanisms of response to locomotor training after stroke
Role: Co-PI
The primary objective of the proposed project is to establish a scientific
framework to maximize the functional outcomes of locomotor therapy in stroke
patients. We propose to examine how walking mechanics are changed by locomotor
training that can be used as a theoretical motivation for modifying the
training. By examining these parameters, we will be able to determine for
the first time a ranking of their influence in restoring walking ability
following stroke and use this information to suggest changes in current
locomotor training protocols that are consistent with activity-dependent
plasticity mechanisms underlying the restoration of walking ability.
