The RIVERS lab is an applied rehabilitation research lab where inter-disciplinary collaboration is heavily emphasized. We seek to understand aspects of motor control, behavioral and neural plasticity that form the basis of rehabilitation science. We are interested in documenting the validity and efficacy of interventions that will accelerate recovery of function for individuals with neurologic conditions. We collaborate with engineering labs in the development and testing of technologies that will address the mission of the laboratory.

Specifically we are conducting research in four core areas:
