This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $903,697.00 to the University of Nebraska at Omaha to conduct research on the neurophysiology of chronic ankle instability. The goal is to determine functional and neurophysiological differences between subgroups of chronic ankle instability patients to enable the development of evidence-based rehabilitation approaches that can improve patient outcomes. Key research activities include...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Aster Labs, Inc. provides $499,758 to develop an automated system for detecting and reporting lapses in the performance of activities of daily living (ADLs) for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The ActivVerify system will leverage a discreet electronic shoe insole with sensors to automatically and accurately detect and identify ADLs, and then determine and verify...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) is focused on developing and evaluating an intraoperative device to measure ligament engagement during total knee arthroplasty procedures. The award of $308,927 to Tensense LLC, a small business based in Oregon, Wisconsin, will fund the integration of a ligament tensiometer into a custom joint distractor device. This "distraction tensiometer" will be calibrated and tested against...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $407,479 to Senaptec Inc. to develop an in-home sensory training therapy using specialized eyewear ("strobes") to mitigate falls risk among older adults. The project aims to modify the existing strobe design to accommodate prescription lenses and improve functionality in low-light home settings, and to conduct clinical efficacy studies to enable FDA clearance. The goal is to bring this...
