Rehabilitation & Neural Plasticity Fellowship

The Neurological Rehabilitation Program offers a 1-2 year fellowship for clinical and basic research training. Research opportunities include animal models of recovery and repair after stroke, vascular cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury (Drs. Carmichael and Hinman).

Clinical studies (Drs. Cramer, Arac, and Dobkin) incorporate innovative strategies to improve motor control for the upper extremity and for gait, including telerehabilitation, robotics, brain-computer interfaces, noninvasive brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, cell therapies, and drugs that act on learning and repair. We deploy motion capture, wearable sensors, and instrumented devices (in the lab, in the hospital, and in the home) to monitor real-world activities and to use as outcome measures in clinical trials.
