Graczyk, Emily, PhD

      My research focuses on the development and clinical assessment of neural interfaces and stimulation approaches to restore and enhance somatosensory function. The primary goal of my research program is to develop and implement technology to restore and enhance somatosensory function for people with sensory impairments due to limb amputation or spinal cord…

DBS effect on Gait Disorders

Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation on Parkinsonian Gait Disorders The overarching goal of this project is to understand the physiological underpinnings of gait deficits in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). About This Study The impact of this study is designed to lead to the development of Quantitative tests for context dependent gait abnormalities, such as freezing of…

Novel STN Patterns – Parkinson’s Disease

Chronic Physiologic and Behavior Changes Induced by Novel STN DBS patterns for Parkinson’s Disease This study will provide insight into the therapeutic potential and mechanisms of coordinated reset (CR) and traditional DBS while improving our understanding of the relationship between neural activity within and across key nodal points of the pallidothalamocortical circuit and the manifestation…

Salameh, Ahlam, PhD, MSc

    Dr. Salameh’s research has two thrusts. First, to understand how the nervous system controls muscle coordination during movement and how brain injuries, such as stroke, disrupt this control. Second, to develop mechanism-based neuromodulatory therapeutic strategies to improve motor function for people with neurological conditions that affect movement. Dr. Salameh has a unique background…
