Developing probability distribution models from upper extremity free exploration trials to evaluate motor deficits in stroke patients
Stroke survivors vary greatly in their motor deficits and rehabilitative needs. Here, we gather unstructured upper limb movement data and seek to understand if there are patterns in their kinetics that reflect the underlying neuromuscular alterations. In doing so, we can improve our abilities to evaluate patients and design personalized rehab therapy.

COMPLETE: Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation to Improve Walking Function and Quality of Life in Individuals Post Stroke
Individuals who have had a stroke often experience difficulty walking within their homes and in the community. Current literature indicates that chronic walking deficits increase fall risk, reduce quality of life, and significantly lower levels of independence in stroke survivors.
