Neuroimaging and Neurorehabilitation Lab (NNL)

Both motor (e.g., walking, strength, balance) and cognitive (e.g. thinking, memory, attention) factors interact to influence rehabilitation outcomes. The overarching goal of our lab is to develop novel rehabilitation strategies to target motor and cognitive decline in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis and Huntington's disease.

Nora Fritz  

Neuromuscular Regenerative Rehabilitation Research Group (NR3G)

Improving or optimizing muscle function in all individuals. Researchers are engaged in several studies aimed at gaining a better understanding of why individuals with certain neuromuscular diseases show greater levels of exercise-induced muscle injury. With the knowledge gained from these studies, they hope to develop novel rehabilitative, pharmacological, gene- and cell-based therapies that could improve resistance to muscle injury in individuals with neuromuscular diseases as well as in healthy individuals.
