Traumatic injury or neurological diseases can significantly alter or impair the lifestyle of the afflicted individual. Driven by the needs of potential users, our engineers and scientists at the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems (ANS) are designing and developing technology to offset the effects of spinal cord injury, orthopedic injury, Parkinson’s disease and cerebral palsy. Applying a multifaceted approach, the center seeks to investigate the effects of trauma and disorders of the nervous system, to replace damaged or lost functionality, or to repair the system using advanced adaptive devices and therapeutic techniques.
