KIRSCH FUNCTIONAL RESTORATION GROUP

 

Basic Research

 

     Basic research projects work to develop effective surgical and cell-based therapies for preventing muscle denervation, to understand how the nervous system normally controls movement, to quantify precisely how paralysis and other disabilities affect the mechanics of movement, and to understand how to use retained voluntary function as effectively as possible to control restored movements.

• Reinnervation of denervating nerves
