Geoffrey Fernie, a professor of surgery with appointments at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute and a senior scientist at the University Health Network's KITE Research Institute, works with a research team to look at mobility scooters and there performance on road conditions during Canadian winters.
A new study from UHN’s KITE Research Institute reveals that mobility scooters perform poorly under the snow- and ice-covered road conditions that are common during Canadian winters.
Dr. Jose Zariffa and his research team are developing tools that enable clinicians to evaluate rehabilitation success and track recovery. The goal is to create a personalized process for the improvement of rehabilitation from spinal cord injuries and stroke, accelerating the affected individuals back on the road to recovery.
