Mission
To evaluate the utility of simple robotic devices for providing rehabilitation therapy after hemispheric stroke.

Our broad intent is to develop devices that will assist the therapist in providing rationally based treatments which are intensive and long in duration.

 

Five Projects
Our focus will be on the assessment of four different approaches toward improving the performance of the upper extremity, and one project directed toward restoration of locomotion.  

 

MARS-RERC
To establish such a center, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago together with its partners, including the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C., Catholic University and the University of CA, Irvine will develop a program of research and development centered around restoration of function in hemispheric stroke survivors.
