Wheelchair ergonomics
We have ongoing studies in wheelchair ergonomics and fatigue-induced changes in shoulder muscles due to wheelchair propulsion. Click on the study above for contact information.
WalkAide
An improved WalkAide is being developed to assist with foot drop and other weak muscles.
FES bicycling
Walking might be improved through functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted arm and leg exercises.
