NIH-FUNDED CENTERS TO ASSIST REHABILITATION RESEARCHERS

.

.

The National Institutes of Health has provided approximately $30 million 
over a five year period to fund a network of centers to advance medical 
rehabilitation research.  The centers provide researchers with access to 
new technologies and resources.

.

The centers are located at: Stanford University; Children's National 
Medical Center in Washington, D.C.; University of California, San Diego; 
University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston; Boston University; 
Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago; and Dartmouth College and Simbex, 
Inc. in New Hampshire.

.

The Medical Rehabilitation Research Network

.

http://www.ncmrr.org/

.

connects the research community with courses and workshops, research 
facilities, mentorship and consultations and with experts at the network 
centers.  The network also provides researchers with small grants to test 
new ideas.

.

The aim of rehabilitation research is to promote recovery, adaptation, and 
functioning for patients with disabilities resulting from stroke, spinal 
cord injury or brain injury, developmental or degenerative disorders, or 
other persistent physical conditions.

.

The new network provides researchers with access to expertise in such 
areas as:

.

.

  -- computer simulations for understanding movement disorders and 
evaluating how potential interventions might affect those movements



  -- techniques for analyzing of how genes and molecules influence the 
recovery process



  -- technologies for studying muscle action and function



  -- assistance in tracking how well treatments meet the needs of patients



  -- expertise in analyzing population data to evaluate the broader impact 
of rehabilitative treatments and health services



  -- robots and sensors to assist patients and help deliver therapeutic 
treatments



  -- the means to assess new rehabilitation technologies and bring new 
therapeutic devices to the marketplace

.

.

"The idea behind the network is to extend the reach of medical 
rehabilitation researchers by providing access to a broader array of 
research tools and approaches," said Ralph M. Nitkin, program director for 
Biological Sciences and Career Development Program in the National Center 
for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR)

.

http://www.nichd.nih.gov/about/org/ncmrr/

.

The NCMRR is located within the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute 
of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), which provides funding for 
the network along with two other NIH Institutes, the National Institute of 
Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Institute of Biomedical 
Imaging and Bioengineering.

.

During the first year of funding, the network has supported a variety of 
pilot projects including studies of:

.

.

  -- sensors in muscles to help amputees control prosthetic devices



  -- treatment of muscle spasms in spinal cord injury patients and 
promoting muscle function in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 
(ALS)



  -- integration of people with disabilities into the community, especially 
involving behavioral or mental conditions like post traumatic stress 
disorder (PTSD)



  -- promoting walking in children with cerebral palsy



  -- therapy for patients with degenerative muscle disorders or severe 
muscle injury



  -- devices for preventing falls in the elderly



  -- monitoring blood flow in the brain as a way to follow how specific 
brain regions respond to therapeutic treatments



  -- assessing bone loss, bladder function, and nervous system changes in 
patients with spinal cord injury



  -- understanding the impact of cancer treatments on individual health and 
function



  -- studies of jaw function and long-term pain complications in animal 
models

.

.

The NICHD sponsors research on development, before and after birth; 
maternal, child, and family health; reproductive biology and population 
issues; and medical rehabilitation.  For more information, visit the

About the National Institutes of Health (NIH): NIH, the nation's medical 
research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of 
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary 
federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and 
translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, 
treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases. For more
