David Cunningham PhD Appointed Assistant Professor of PM&R

The Cleveland FES Center congratulates David Cunningham, PhD on the appointment of Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) at the MetroHealth System and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

Dr. Cunningham’s research is focused on improving rehabilitative outcomes for patients with chronic post-stroke hemiplegia by employing methods of non-invasive brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation).

His expertise in these methods in conjunction with neuroimaging techniques (functional MRI, resting state MRI, diffusion tensor imaging) and single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation allows him to study neurophysiologic adaptations as a result of injury as well as recovery. At MetroHealth-CWRU, Dr. Cunningham is currently developing multi-modal approaches for post-stroke motor restoration that combines non-invasive brain stimulation and functional electrical stimulation.”
