Coritmo is a study to learn if brain implants connected to a powered upper extremity orthosis can help stroke patients overcome abnormal movement and restore abilities. The Cortimo comprises an implanted brain activity sensor and a wearable powered arm orthosis.
We are developing novel electrophysiological techniques to interface with 3D neural specimens in real-time. In addition to functioning as an in vitro test bed for brain-computer interfaces, neural specimens grown on 3D multi-electrode arrays may function like computational components in their own right to advance knowledge discovery.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of collecting objective kinematic and physiological data in healthy adults and in a clinical cohort of people who were being seen in outpatient Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, or Neurology clinics at Jefferson.
The RESTORE Stroke Study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Deep Brain Stimulation+Rehab for treating arm weakness and reduced function after a stroke.
Leaders in the field, our faculty publishes their research to share and collaborate with other researchers.
The Center partners and collaborates with fellow Jefferson, Moss-Magee Rehab, colleagues and other centers.
