Facilities and Centers

Each department in the School of Public Health and Health Professions has its own discipline-specific research facilities as well as access to shared resources.

Our Research Labs:

Aging and Technology Research Center

/content/sphhp/rehabilitation-science/research-and-facilities/core-facilities/aging.html.

The Aging and Technology Research Center is dedicated to promoting health and independent living among older adults and their caregivers. The center researches technological solutions to problems associated with aging.

Brain Function and Recovery Laboratory

BFR lab.

The Brain Function and Recovery Lab (BFR) uses neuromotor, neurocognitive, and neurophysiological measures to better understand sport-related, military-related, and intimate-partner violence-related acquired brain injury. 

Brain Plasticity and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory

BRAIN plasticity lab.

The Brain Plasticity and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory (BPNL) investigates mechanism of neurodegeneration following neurotrauma and occupational hazards, in translatable experimental animal models in a dedicated biomedical research facility equipped with in-house laboratory animal facilities along with unrestricted access to core facilities.

Gait Analysis Laboratory

Gait analysis.

The Gait Analysis Lab investigates gait, balance and motor performance, exploring movement of individuals with motor impairments. The lab uses 12 cameras and reflective markers as part of a 3-D motion capture system, and wireless electromyography (EMG) sensors detecting muscle activation, to study how the human body walks through space. 

Motor Control and Rehabilitation Laboratory

The Motor Control and Rehabilitation Laboratory studies how the brain controls movement and the ways to improve motor function in individuals with neurological impairments such as spinal cord injury and stroke.

Neuromuscular Physiology Laboratory

cells.

The Neuromuscular Physiology Lab investigates how communication between motor neurons and muscle fibers guides the development of the neuromuscular junction and how this communication breaks-down following trauma, disease, or aging. 

Center for Health Research

Center for Health research.

The Center for Health Research (CHR) is a full-service research facility available to all School of Public Health and Health Professions faculty conducting externally funded studies.

Center for Assistive Technology

CAT table.

The Center for Assistive Technology (CAT) explores the functional utility of Assistive Technology (AT) devices and services in support of persons with disabilities.
