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), provides $440,000 to Northeastern University to develop telerobotic systems that augment the capabilities of physical therapists for locomotor rehabilitation. The project seeks to transform physical therapy by leveraging telerobotics to allow therapists to remotely provide dynamic assistance and guidance to patients during treadmill-based rehabilitation, reducing the physical demands on therapists while preserving their clinical expertise. The project includes two main research aims: 1) Measuring the forces therapists apply and modeling how they adjust their assistance during manual locomotor training, and 2) Evaluating how therapists' manipulative strategies translate through a telerobotic system that allows remote patient assistance. This award runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
