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), will fund the development of a novel passive, compliant ankle prosthetic device called the APTO-Ankle. The $293,514 award to Orthocare Innovations LLC, a prosthetic device company, will support the design, prototyping, bench testing, and clinical evaluation of this unpowered ankle prosthesis. The goal is to...
This National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Project Grant award of $275,197, issued on Aug 10, 2023, supports the development and evaluation of a novel, compliant low-profile prosthetic foot. The key objectives are to (1) design and test a family of layered low-profile prosthetic feet, (2) assess the biomechanical benefits of the layered low-profile foot with transtibial prosthesis users with short and long residual limbs, and (3) evaluate the biomechanical function...
This $987,365 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 complete the final design and development of the Fast In-Bed Tracking (FIT) platform, an e-health and wellness IoT monitoring system that can be integrated into a user's bed to provide real-world outcomes supporting the health and wellness of wheelchair users. The key goals are to (1) refine...
This $141,804 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 support a 2-year study to evaluate the biomechanical factors underlying the purported benefits of stand-on ride-on power mobility devices for children with cerebral palsy. The project aims to administer a 3-month intervention using individually-adapted stand-on power mobility devices to a cohort...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (under the CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program) provides $1,032,031 to Healing Innovations, Inc. to develop a novel, cost-effective gait training device for home use by the neurological patient population. The funding will support the finalization of the device and software design through iterative development, followed by a pilot clinical trial to demonstrate...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (doing business as Shirley Ryan AbilityLab) for $666,688. The award, with a performance period from Sep 2, 2024 to Jun 30, 2029, aims to develop a fall screening protocol for lower limb prosthetic users that utilizes gait and kinematic analysis from markerless motion...
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 $481,444 to The Henry M. Jackson Foundation For The Advancement Of Military Medicine, Inc. to quantify the impact of an innovative surgical technique called the Agonist-Antagonist Myoneural Interface (AMI) on locomotion mechanics and recovery from walking perturbations when using a conventional...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $890,340 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to develop an automatic, mode-dependent and phase-varying prosthetic foot stiffness modulation system to improve balance control for individuals with lower-limb amputations. The 4-year project (August 1, 2024 - July 31, 2028) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research aims to implement activity detection and...
This $232,230 federal Project Grant award was provided 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, awarded to the University of Michigan, aims to improve the design of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) by incorporating a novel cam-based transmission that allows for decoupled energy storage and return. The proposed "Decoupled Energy Storage and Return Variable Stiffness...
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 $241,500.00 to the University of Connecticut to pilot a novel, child-friendly, home-based navigation training program using joystick-operated ride-on-toys. The goal is to improve upper extremity function in children with hemiplegia, a common pediatric condition. The 2-year project will randomly...
