We center our efforts on human motion and are committed to understanding the lived experience of individuals who have to work daily to triumph over daily challenges. We receive translational research funding from multiple prestigious bodies, including the National Institutes for Health (NIH), National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the UK National Health Research Services. Our research focuses on bringing wearable robotics to market for the rehabilitation and prevention of complications from Diabetic Foot Ulcers, MS, Stroke, Fall-Risk, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and musculoskeletal injury.
