Professor Gustafson's research is in the areas of neural engineering and neural prostheses. His research interests focus on understanding the systems-level neurophysiology and neural control of pelvic ...

This new hydrogel system (IT-IC) can protect the gel from destruction by external forces. In conventional covalently crosslinked hydrogels (e.g., methacrylated hyaluronic acid, referred to as MeHA), ...

The current generation of neural implants record enormous amounts of neural activity, then transmit these brain signals through wires to a computer. But, so far, when researchers have tried to create ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Case Western Reserve University and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center have received a $9.9 million grant to test a new prosthetic hand that allows amputees to again have a ...

State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don't give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers designed a neuroprosthesis replicating the natural lumbosacral spinal activation during walking for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Study ...
