Help us with our goal to reverse paralysis

Join us in our mission to unlock the nervous system’s potential for recovery. Our research aims to develop innovative strategies to restore movement and improve mobility in individuals with spinal cord injury. Your participation is invaluable in helping us better understand how the nervous system adapts and how targeted interventions may enhance motor function.

We have several ongoing research studies, and you may qualify for one of them!

Are You Living with a Motor Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury?

Our lab is currently seeking individuals with spinal cord injury to participate in a research study exploring how low-oxygen therapy (acute intermittent hypoxia) may promote movement recovery. This study will help us better understand how neuroplasticity can be harnessed to improve motor function after injury.

Eligibility Criteria:

Age 18-75
Traumatic motor incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) for over 12 months

Your participation could contribute to important advancements in rehabilitation strategies for people with spinal cord injuries.


Are You an Able-Bodied Individual Interested in Motor Control Research?

We are also recruiting individuals with no history of neurological injury for research on motor control and neuroplasticity mechanisms. By participating, you will help us establish important comparisons between healthy and impaired motor systems, furthering our ability to design effective rehabilitation approaches.

Eligibility Criteria:

Age 18-75
No known neurological injury

Whether you have a spinal cord injury or are an able-bodied individual, your participation plays a critical role in advancing our understanding of movement recovery and the development of innovative rehabilitation techniques.
