This study is testing whether training physical and occupational therapists in a counseling style called motivational interviewing helps people with spinal cord injuries participate more actively in their rehabilitation sessions. Researchers will compare patients whose therapists…

This study is testing a breathing treatment called Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH) to see if it can improve arm and hand function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants will breathe brief periods of low oxygen, which has been shown in early research to safely incre…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the spinal cord, combined with walking practice, can improve walking ability and balance in people who have leg weakness from a stroke. Researchers will work with 115 adults who had a stroke at least s…

This study is testing whether breathing short bursts of low-oxygen air, similar to the air on a tall mountain, can improve ankle strength in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will measure participants' strength and brain activity before and after the breathing sess…

This study is testing a special full-body suit that uses gentle electrical stimulation. It aims to see if wearing the suit is safe and can help reduce pain, muscle stiffness, and improve balance for people with conditions like multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia. About 15 partici…

This study is testing whether small, wearable sensors can continuously monitor how stroke patients recover during their hospital rehabilitation. Researchers will track 400 patients' movements, speech, and balance using these devices to see if the sensor data matches traditional c…

This study aims to create a standard test to measure how well different assistive technologies and brain-computer interfaces help people with severe motor impairments from spinal cord injury or ALS use computers and phones. Researchers will have 60 participants, including people …
