Center for Applied Biomechanics and
Rehabilitation Research

The goal of the Center for Applied Biomechanics and Rehabilitation Research (CABRR) is to study the behavior of neurological and musculoskeletal systems in order to better understand the mechanisms of injury, physical disabilities, and the process of functional recovery. Specifically, we strive to advance the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular pathologies by utilizing fundamental engineering principles and scientific methods.
