The Department of Physical Medicine conducts both clinical and basic science research. Currently, we are involved in a number of exciting projects that promise far-reaching effects, including projects with a focus on physical activity, metabolism and energy consumption, spine health and spinal cord injury, adapted neuropsychological assessment, pain management, cerebral palsy, neuropathies and balance, and health issues concerning women with disabilities. Our research engineers are making great technological advances with a brain computer interface and assistive technologies which provide access to technology to individuals with brain injuries.
Our research areas include:
- Aging with Physical Disability
- Assistive Technologies and Cognitive Testing Research
- Brain-Computer Interface Research
- Cancer Research
- Cerebral Palsy Research
- Clinical Outcomes Research
- Concussion Research
- Healthcare Disparities for Individuals with Disabilities
