NIH-C06-Specialized-Technological-Center-For-Assistive-Rehabilitation-研究-Star
Through our National Institutes of Health (NIH) C06 grant, a Specialized Technological Center for Assistive Rehabilitation Research (STAR), will position 亚洲博彩网站 to serve as a national hub, beacon, and gold-standard, “STAR” facility for rehabilitation-related research focused on aging and impaired populations.
任务
新的,即将到来的STAR中心将创造一个环境,促进研究驱动的专业技术服务,专注于生物力学和康复工程相关的研究,这是一个关键的需求。 STAR中心将把亚洲博彩网站内的学生、研究人员、教职员工以及周围的大学、研究所和医院联合起来。 A goal of the Center is to serve, determine solutions, and obtain new scientific knowledge on a wide array of populations including aging individuals, veterans, amputees, survivors of stroke, Parkinson’s patients, and other impaired and unimpaired populations.
历史
生物力学和康复工程研究中心由多个生物医学工程研究实验室组成,配备大型最先进的固定设备,由Lara Thompson博士于2018年首次构思和概念化。 这个新设施是通过2020年秋季授予亚洲博彩网站的NIH C06基金设计和建造的。 资金被用于扩大、翻新和装备新的多研究员生物医学研究实验室,重点是:a)步态和平衡; b)康复辅助机器人; c)生物力学; d)虚拟现实康复。
| 步态与平衡 -In fall-prone elderly, survivors of stroke, Parkinson’s patients, veterans & amputees -In un-impaired individuals (such as athletes) |
生物力学 -Imaging-related research (tied to injury-biomechanics) -Materials-related research tied to implantable devices, orthopedics, and biomaterials |
| 康复辅助机器人 -Fall-prone elderly, survivors of stroke, veterans & amputees (assistive robotics for gait & balance) -For amputees or paralyzed individuals (brain-to-machine interface using EEG and robotics) -Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans & teaching children with autism (utilizing robotics for behavioral/psychology-related studies) |
虚拟现实康复 -Fall-prone elderly, survivors of stroke, veterans & amputees (locomotion, sensorimotor integration) -Older individuals & survivors of stroke -People with disabilities (e.g., autism) -Veterans (e.g., with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI) |
该STAR中心建立在2015年夏季启动的生物力学和康复工程中心(CBRE)的基础上。
