This 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 supporting research to leverage digital technologies to advance rehabilitation for children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The $141,609 award to The Ohio State University will fund a study to: 1) determine the effectiveness of telehealth-delivered pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy (PCIMT) in...
The federal Project Grant award, ID HT94252510103, was provided by the Department of the Army Medical Command under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420). The $763,171 award supports a pilot clinical trial of an app-based motor skills intervention for reducing motor difficulties in autistic children. The project aims to adapt and beta test the PLAY app for autistic preschool children from diverse backgrounds, and then conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial of...
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 $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 $193,953 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to develop and apply a novel ultrasonic brain imaging technology called functional ultrasound imaging (FUSI) to study motor activity in behaving infants. The project has two key objectives: 1) to assess the functional organization of the motor system in typically developing infants performing a reaching task using FUSI,...
This 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) provides $242,310 to the University of Illinois to investigate the impact of cognitive-motor interference on balance control in children with cerebral palsy. The award supports research that will: 1) evaluate proactive balance control during obstacle negotiation and reactive balance control during treadmill...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD, CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $127,557 to the University of California, Davis to evaluate the feasibility of using force-based and position-based prosthetic control systems for children born without a hand. The key objectives are to: (1) maximize the accuracy of combining surface electromyography (sEMG) and ultrasound (US) data to predict intended hand...
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...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $295,907 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Liberating Technologies Inc. (LTI) to develop a prototype "Unintrusive Pediatric Logging Orthosis Analytic Device (UPLOAD)." The goal is to create a commercially viable, unobtrusive remote monitoring system for pediatric orthotics that can improve compliance tracking. Key features include long battery life, low...
This 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 funding the development and demonstration of a Social, Assistive Mobile Manipulator (SAMM) software suite.
