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，称为“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的新教师的发展。该计划将建立在PI目前的R24网络和类似的NIDRR赞助的研究中心的支持下，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： 1.神经科学核心：主任是C. J.赫克曼（西北）和乔治霍恩比（UIC）。Heckman博士指导一个实验室，使用电生理学，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试验的准备研究。Hornby博士的核心将促进人类的临床试验。 2.机器人/机械核心：导演是詹姆斯·巴顿和桑德罗·穆萨-瓦尔迪。他们将提供一系列不同的机器人和机械系统，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。触觉大师和其他特殊用途机器人等新机器人系统也将用于协作交互。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：董事是Li-Qun Zhang和Paolo Bonato（Spaulding）。该核心设施有能力构建新型电子系统，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.建模与仿真核心：Wendy Murray和Yasin Daher将通过专门网站传播这些研究核心，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。
