This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) will support research aimed at improving crouch gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The total funding amount is $240,451 over the project period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026. The research will examine the effects of applying targeted resistance torque to the knee joint during overground walking to facilitate motor...
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), is focused on investigating the impact of cognitive-motor interference on balance control in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The $242,310 award, with a performance period from November 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will support research to: Evaluate proactive balance control during an overground...
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 $330,000 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 characterize the functional and anatomical connectivity of motor pathways in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). The primary objectives are to use multimodal neuroimaging techniques, including functional near-infrared spectroscopy and transcranial magnetic stimulation, to identify...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $655,924.00 and awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), aims to develop methods for enabling paralyzed patients to directly control a complex robotic arm and hand using electrocorticography (ECoG) signals. The research project, conducted by The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco, will test the stability and robustness of...
This $162,212 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will support the development and pilot testing of "Cerebral Palsy Clinic to You" (CPC2U), an online health tool to promote preventive care for adults with cerebral palsy (CP). The project, led by Dr. Cristina Sarmiento at the University of Colorado-Denver, aims to: 1) explore...
This $148,449 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 a structurally suitable neck exoskeleton to assist individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) head drop. The central hypothesis is that a well-designed neck exoskeleton will improve head-neck range of motion, enable social interaction, and increase overall user satisfaction...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $241,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to conduct a pilot study on a novel, child-friendly, home-based navigation training program using joystick-operated ride-on-toys to improve upper extremity function in children with hemiplegia. The 2-year project aims to evaluate the feasibility, satisfaction, and preliminary...
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 $141,609 to The Ohio State University to conduct research on leveraging digital technologies to advance rehabilitation for children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) determine the effectiveness of telehealth-delivered pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy (PCIMT) for...
This $115,881 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), supports research to evaluate the use of operant conditioning of the wrist extensor motor evoked potential (MEP) as a therapy to improve upper limb motor recovery in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). The project aims to apply this non-invasive brain stimulation technique to target...
