Research summary
AI-generated

Lauren Wengerd's research focuses on helping stroke survivors regain hand and arm movement, using wearable sensor sleeves that read muscle electrical signals (EMG) to detect a person's intended movements and drive electrical stimulation therapy. The work also includes efforts to standardize and implement rehabilitation treatments in clinical and research practice. This research would suit students interested in combining engineering (wearable devices, signal processing) with occupational therapy and stroke recovery.
