The key objectives of the project are to: (1) Determine the effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $330,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, doing business as Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, for a study titled "Engaging Reticulospinal Inputs to Improve Walking". The project aims to examine the contribution of the reticulospinal tract (RST) to lower limb muscle activity during locomotion in individuals with and without...
This $1,379,072 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) aims to develop an enhanced, rehabilitation therapy to improve post-stroke gait and leg function in chronic stroke survivors. The key objectives are to: 1) develop a robust, wireless myoelectric interface system and engaging games for home-based therapy; 2) test the impact of this "MINT...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $317,119 to the University of Texas at Austin to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel real-time EEG-informed personalized brain state-dependent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system for enhancing post-stroke hand rehabilitation. The research aims to 1) establish the feasibility of delivering TMS during personalized...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $372,870 to Texas Woman's University (TWU) to conduct research on the behavioral and neural correlates of post-stroke fatigue. The project aims to determine if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can reduce post-stroke fatigue assessed through clinical and behavioral measures,...
This federal Project Grant award of $968,769 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) will fund a study to investigate the efficacy of maintenance repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. The study will be conducted across three research sites - the University of California San Diego, Cornell University, and Australian National University. The R61 phase...
This federal Project Grant award for $108,105.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to investigate the potential of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a therapeutic intervention to improve neurovascular coupling and cognitive function in stroke survivors with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). The project has two key objectives: 1) to comprehensively evaluate neurovascular coupling responses in stroke survivors...
This federal Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $652,497, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The award supports a research study focused on understanding the neurological substrates of proximal upper extremity motor control and recovery after stroke. The study aims to: (1) determine baseline relationships between the...
