项目摘要

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.

这个 R24 研究资源名为“神经康复工程”，旨在传播 PI 在工程和神经科学方面的核心专业知识，以支持美国各地医疗中心和医院新教师的发展。该计划将建立在 PI 目前的 R24 网络的支持下以及由 NIDRR 赞助的类似研究中心建立的核心设施的基础上，这些中心支持中风和其他神经系统疾病的机器人研究。这些核心设施包括以下内容： 1. 神经科学核心：主任是 C.J. Heckman（西北大学）和 George Hornby（UIC）。 Heckman 博士领导一个实验室，利用电生理学、解剖学、免疫组织化学和药理学方法处理脊髓损伤的动物模型。该实验室将可用于进行人体测试的准备研究。霍恩比博士的核心将促进人类临床测试。 2. 机器人/机械核心：董事为 James Patton 和 Sandro Mussa-lvaldi。他们将提供一系列不同的机器人和机械系统，设计用于基础研究、诊断研究以及测试中风和脊髓损伤的治疗方法。新的机器人系统，如 Haptic Master 和其他专用机器人也将可用于协作交互。此外，还将提供使用“Lokomat”作为诊断和治疗工具的步态研究。 3. 信息技术/传感核心：董事为张立群和保罗·博纳托（斯波尔丁）。该核心设施有能力构建新颖的电子系统，例如最先进的肌电图电极、遥测数据收集系统以及广泛的建模和模拟设施。 4. 建模与仿真核心：Wendy Murray 和 Yasin Daher。这些研究核心的可用性将通过专门网站传播，并在国家和国际会议上介绍。最后，将提供一系列教学课程、实践研讨会和研讨会来展示新颖的研究方法。
