Research
Focus
- Our goal is to develop novel gait rehabilitation interventions and strategies based on an in-depth understanding of the neuroplasticity, biomechanical, and motor learning mechanisms underlying gait and gait training. We investigate the time courses, mechanisms, and dose-response characteristics underlying post-stroke gait rehabilitation programs comprising treadmill training and functional electrical stimulation.
