Overview

Central Research Themes

The Movement and Cognitive Rehabilitation Science MEd/MSc program offered at University of Texas at Austin focuses on research aimed at studying biomechanical, neural, and neuromuscular mechanisms of human movement and cognition with applications to development and aging, skill acquisition, and rehabilitation following acute and chronic injuries. Some central aims addressed in our research laboratories include:

mechanisms underlying the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of memory in healthy younger and older adults, and patients with memory deficits (Freedberg).
Cortical and subcortical mechanisms of voluntary movement and skill learning in the healthy and damaged brain (Hussain)
biomechanical analysis of, and neurological correlation to fine motor skill acquisition and performance (Abraham)
neural control mechanisms during muscle fatigue and aging with single-motor unit recording, and electrical stimulation protocols for individuals with paralysis. (Griffin)
mechanisms of biomechanical and neuromuscular control of normal and pathological movements, and interventions that improve functional movements such as walking (Hsiao)
changes in motor competencies across a lifetime with an emphasis on posture and locomotor control including populations of autism and cerebral palsy. (Jensen)
