Our lab aims to clarify the neuromechanical basis of impaired lower limb function in individuals with neurological injuries. Recognizing the nervous system’s remarkable capacity for reorganization, we strive to develop innovative paradigms that direct neural plasticity toward functional improvements in motor performance. In parallel, we conduct investigations in healthy individuals to deepen our understanding of motor control and mechanisms driving gains in motor performance following plasticity-priming interventions.
Research Focus
Founded in 2020, our laboratory is built on a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, and engineers working collaboratively to drive innovation in motor rehabilitation. We are committed to conducting innovative, interdisciplinary research that bridges neuroscience, biomechanics, and rehabilitation science to develop effective interventions for motor recovery.
What We Are Working Towards
Our goal is to provide high-quality research training for the next generation of scientists. We are committed to fostering an environment that prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our research and training. We believe that multiple perspectives and experiences enhance the quality and impact of our work. We are working towards:
- Identifying and reducing barriers to participation to make our research more inclusive and accessible.
- Expanding diversity in participant recruitment to improve the generalizability of our findings.
- Establishing partnerships with community organizations to increase outreach and participation among underrepresented populations.
By integrating cutting-edge research with a strong commitment to equity and inclusion, we aim to drive scientific advancements that translate into meaningful improvements in motor function and quality of life for individuals with neurological injuries.
We are part of the Department of Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Learn more about our department here: https://www.colorado.edu/iphy/
