Motor Control Laboratory

Understanding sensorimotor coordination to improve function

About

The Motor Control Laboratory is focused on the control of hand and arm movements across the lifespan in healthy and clinical populations. Current research interests include the effectiveness of a home-based rehabilitation program for individuals with peripheral nerve injury and assessment of hand function in older adult populations. Laboratory long-term goals include understanding and improving assessment and rehabilitation techniques for the upper extremity, ultimately leading to greater independence and quality of life.
