Frazier Family Coalition for Stroke Education & Prevention

A collaboration between Jefferson Health and Temple Health, promotes the health of the community through a multifaceted program aimed at reducing the number of strokes — an especially urgent need, since stroke is the fourth-highest cause of death in Philadelphia.

Comprehensive Stroke Center at Jefferson

When a stroke happens, you need fast, expert care. Jefferson Health is one of the nation's leaders in stroke prevention, diagnosis, treatment and research. Jefferson have the greatest number of board-certified and dual-trained specialists to manage even the most complex stroke cases across the patient journey.

Center for Outcomes & Measurement

The Center develops, validates, advocates for, and utilizes measurement methodologies and outcome measures that generate meaningful and precise data that advances research and practice in rehabilitation sciences. 

Philadelphia Hand & Shoulder Limb Restoration Clinic

This Clinic treats all complex conditions that limit limb function resulting from congenital disorders, disease or traumatic injuries including restoration of nerve function

Shop for Integrative Medicine Vitamins & Supplements

These supplements, researched and recommended in our practice, are sold at our physical locations and online for those seeking enhanced wellness.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

The Center is implementing VNS therapy as the first FDA‐approved device for patients with chronic moderate to severe upper limb deficits from stroke.  This comprehensive service is now available at Jefferson.

Ongoing Rehabailitation Research

  • Cortimo Trial Information (Brain Computer Interface for Cerebral Stroke)
  • The Human Motor Recovery Laboratory
    Conducted by Dylan Edwards, PhD, develops rehabilitation treatment strategies for motor recovery in people after injury to the brain or spinal cord
  • The Cognitive-Motor Learning Laboratory
    Conducted by Aaron Wong, PhD, identifies new approaches to enhance rehabilitation by identifying the processes that contribute to the planning and the online control of actions.
  • The Language and Learning Laboratory
    Led by Erica Middleton, PhD, develops efficacious treatments of aphasia grounded in an understanding of how people transform mental representations of the world and personal experiences into information-rich sequences of sound (i.e., language production).
  • The Speech and Language Recovery Laboratory
    Led by Marja-Liisa Mailend, PhD, develops theory-driven and evidence-based treatment programs to strengthen functional communication in people with aphasia and apraxia of speech.
  • The Brain Injury Neuropsychology Laboratory
    Led by Amanda Rabinowitz, PhD,  studies the neurobiological and psychosocial factors that influence recovery from traumatic brain injury.


  • The Sensorimotor Learning Laboratory
    Conducted by Amanda Therrien, PhD, improves motor training for people with neurological disorders (e.g. cerebellar ataxia, stroke, multiple sclerosis)
  • The Neuroplasticity and Motor Behavior Laboratory
    Led by Shailesh Kantak, PhD, PT, explores the effects of innovative treatment strategies to augment motor recovery in individuals with neuromuscular disorders.
  • The Brain Trauma and Behavior Laboratory
    Led by Umesh “Umi” Venkatesan, PhD, uses cognitive neuroscientific approaches to develop treatment interventions to help people with traumatic brain injury.
  • The Cognition and Action Laboratory
    Led by Laurel Buxbaum, PsyD, investigates the interface between cognitive representations of objects, tasks, and action planning processes using behavioral testing in healthy people and people with neurological disease, support vector lesion-symptom mapping (SVR-LSM, a machine learning approach), Functional Connectivity, eye tracking, Virtual Reality, and fMRI.
  • The TBI Rehabilitation Research Laboratory
    Led by John Whyte, MD, PhD, develops novel treatments for these  attention and executive function impairments of brain injury, with an emphasis on pharmacologic treatments.

WVU Human Performance Innovation Center

The most unique aspects of this mission are the communities that partner with the RNI, known as AMP2.  AMP2 represents the Athletics, Military (and first responders), Patient, and general Population communities. While each of these communities have specific needs, there is an intersection in health, wellness, performance, and longevity that applies to all individuals. The Human Performance Innovation Center and all our partners are after improved “performance.”

Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute

Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI) is an internationally recognized institute for rehabilitation and neuroscience research whose mission spans a translational “pipeline” from theory-driven research to clinical treatments in neurorehabilitation. MRRI performsbasic research, framed by theoretical perspectives that maintain contact with the complexities of real-world function and lead to advances in neurorehabilitation assessment and treatment. They also house the MRRI Research Registry, a patient registry to connect patients with future neurorehabilitation research.

NYU Data Catalog

The New York University (NYU) Data Catalog facilitates researchers’ discovery of data by providing a searchable and browsable online collection of datasets. Rather than functioning as a data repository, the catalog is a digital way-finder for researchers looking for datasets relevant to their work. It includes datasets generated by NYU researchers as well as publicly available and licensed datasets that are generated at external organizations, e.g. the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

PCORnet

PCORnet is a national resource where health data, research expertise, and patient insights are available to deliver fast, trustworthy answers that advance health outcomes. 

NIH All of Us Research Program

The All of Us Research Program is inviting one million people across the U.S. to help build one of the most diverse health databases in history. We welcome participants from all backgrounds. Researchers will use the data to learn how our biology, lifestyle, and environment affect health. This may one day help them find ways to treat and prevent disease.

Research Action for Health Network

Research Action for Health Network (REACHnet) is a partnership of health systems, academic centers, and public health organizations that constitute an innovative data network for conducting efficient, multi-site research. 

VA Informatics & Computing Infrastructure

Veteran's Administration (VA) Informatics and Computing Infrastructure (VINCI) is an initiative to improve researchers' access to VA data and to facilitate the analysis of those data while ensuring Veterans' privacy and data security. VINCI welcomes all researchers in the VA community to explore the environment and tools available.

Corporate Data Warehouse & Four Regional Data Warehouses

The Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) and Four Regional Data Warehouses (RDW1-4). The CDW program is central to business management, clinical and administrative research, and healthcare system innovation.
