- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will investigate the impact of cognitive-motor interference on balance control in children with cerebral palsy. The $291,848 award, effective from November 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will be used to evaluate proactive and reactive balance control in single and dual-task conditions...
- The federal Project Grant award of $1,431,959.00 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) aims to investigate two promising methods to induce plasticity in subcortical motor circuits in humans, both with and without spinal cord injury (SCI). The award, granted to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (doing business as Shirley Ryan AbilityLab), will...
- This three-year $896,236 project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development will fund research at the University of Nebraska at Omaha to determine biomechanical mechanisms that optimize walking rehabilitation for children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. The research will examine the effects of walking speed and environment (overground, dry treadmill, wet treadmill) on lower body kinematics and muscular demand. It will also link...
- This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) will support the development of an innovative brain-computer interface (BCI) system to enhance upper extremity rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The project aims to create a multisensory, immersive virtual reality (VR) environment that leverages BCI-mediated neurofeedback to improve motor learning and...
- The Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865), is for evaluating the feasibility of force-based and position-based prosthetic control systems for children born without a hand.
