This R24 research resource, called "Engineering for Neurological Rehabilitation" seeks to disseminate the PIs' core expertise in engineering and neuroscience to support the development of new faculty in medical centers and hospitals across the United States. This program will build on core facilities established under the auspices of the PIs' current R24 network and under analogous, NIDRR-sponsored research centers supporting robotics research for stroke and other neurological disorders. These core facilities include the following: 1. Neurosciences Core: Directors are C.J. Heckman (Northwestern) and George Hornby (UIC). Dr. Heckman directs a laboratory dealing with animal models of spinal cord injury using electrophysiological, anatomical, immunohistochemical, and pharmacological approaches. This laboratory will be available to pursue studies preparatory to human testing. Dr. Hornby's core will facilitate clinical testing in human populations. 2. Robotics/Mechanics Core: Directors are James Patton and Sandro Mussa-lvaldi. They will make available an array of different robotic and mechanical systems designed for fundamental research, for diagnostic studies, and for testing therapeutic approaches in stroke and spinal cord injury. New robotic systems such as the Haptic Master and other special-purpose robots will also be made available for collaborative interaction. In addition, gait studies using the "Lokomat" as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool will be offered. 3. Information Technology/Sensing Core: Directors are Li-Qun Zhang and Paolo Bonato (Spaulding). This core facility has the capacity to build novel electronic systems such as state-of-the-art EMG electrodes, telemetered data collection systems, and extensive modeling and simulation facilities. 4. Modeling and Simulation Core: Wendy Murray and Yasin Daher. Availability of these research cores will be disseminated through dedicated websites and presented at national and international meetings. Finally, a series of didactic courses, hands-on workshops, and symposia will be offered to present novel research approaches.

这种称为“神经康复工程”的R24研究资源旨在传播PIS在工程和神经科学方面的核心专业知识，以支持美国医疗中心和医院的新教师的发展。该计划将建立在PIS当前R24网络的主持下建立的核心设施，并在类似的NIDRR赞助的研究中心下支持中风和其他神经系统疾病的机器人研究中心。这些核心设施包括以下内容： 1。神经科学核心：导演是C.J. Heckman（西北）和George Hornby（UIC）。 Heckman博士指导了一个实验室，该实验室使用电生理，解剖学，免疫组织化学和药理方法处理脊髓损伤的动物模型。该实验室将可用于为人类测试做准备的研究。 Hornby博士的核心将促进人群的临床测试。 2。机器人/力学核心：董事是詹姆斯·帕顿（James Patton）和桑德罗·穆萨·勒瓦尔迪（Sandro Mussa-Lvaldi）。他们将提供一系列用于基础研究，用于诊断研究以及测试中风和脊髓损伤治疗方法的不同机器人和机械系统。新的机器人系统（例如触觉主和其他专用机器人）也将用于协作互动。此外，将提供使用“ Lokomat”作为诊断和治疗工具的步态研究。 3。信息技术/传感核心：董事是李清张和保罗·波纳托（Spaulding）。该核心设施具有构建新型电子系统的能力，例如最先进的EMG电极，遥测数据收集系统以及广泛的建模和仿真设施。 4。建模和模拟核心：温迪·默里（Wendy Murray）和Yasin Daher。这些研究核心的可用性将通过专门的网站传播，并在国家和国际会议上介绍。最后，将提供一系列教学课程，动手研讨会和研讨会，以介绍新颖的研究方法。
