Neurorecovery Team
Accelerating Recovery through Science & Collaboration
The UC Neurorecovery Team is an interdisciplinary group of researchers from three Colleges on the Academic Health Center campus: Allied Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing.
The team works to better understand how stroke survivors and families recover from stroke and how to maximize stroke recovery. Study topics include:
- Walking Recovery
- Arm and Hand Function
- Language and Speech Recovery
- Mood and Depression
- Hemineglect
- Family Caregiver Support
- ...and more!
Many of our studies provide cutting-edge therapies at no cost for eligible participants.
Some studies are also able to provide transportation assistance and compensation.
VISION: The UC Neurorecovery Team aims to empower people with neurological disorders and family caregivers to enhance quality of life through:
(1) development of novel interventions,
(2) discovery of brain-behavior relationships, and
(3) identification of recovery processes.
