How can technology help people regain mobility after a spinal cord injury? In the Motion and Adaptation Science Laboratory at the University of Toronto, Professor Kei Masani and his team study new ways to improve balance and movement for people with neurological impairments. By combining functional electrical stimulation with real-time visual feedback and motion tracking tools such as depth cameras, the lab is developing better ways to assess and support standing, walking, and adapted exercise. Their research aims to provide clinicians with more accurate tools and guidelines to design effective rehabilitation therapies, helping improve mobility and quality of life for individuals living with limited movement. Learn more about how engineering and neuroscience are coming together to advance rehabilitation science.
