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.<\/p>\n<p<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Cunningham, David, PhD PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS Investigator Cleveland FES Center Assistant Professor, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of Medicine Case Western Reserve University Assistant Professor, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute CONTACT INFORMATION Program Contact: David Cunningham, PhD Contact Phone: 216-957-3349 Contact Email: dxc536@case.edu PUBLICATIONS Dr. Cunningham&#8217;s research is focused on improving rehabilitative [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24133,"parent":27304,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-24126","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24126"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30602,"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24126\/revisions\/30602"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fescenter.org\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
