Welcome to the Other Physical Disability Studies Page
Do you have limited or no ability to use both hands due to a cervical spinal cord injury, or a brainstem or spinal stroke? Are you age 22-70? This study involves the implantation of multiple sensors in the brain for approximately 1 year. Once the sensors are placed, participants will undergo training to learn to use brain activity to control computer cursors, video games, and a robotic arm.
Do you have an amputation to one or both legs? Are you 18-70 years old? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a study to help researchers collect data that will be used as a comparison to individuals who are enrolled in neuroprosthetic (devices that stimulate and record information from a person’s brain and nervous system) studies. Involves up to 5 visits. Compensation provided.
Interested in sharing your story about health, illness, or research? Patients and caregivers are needed to participate in a research study to help learn more about topics that are important to you and that may improve health and health care. Participation involves one 45-minute session that takes place over the phone. Eligible participants must be able to read and understand English.
Do you have a non-progressive spinal cord injury that occurred over 1 year ago, and do you use a wheelchair as your primary means of mobility? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a study to track wheelchair use, breakdowns and repairs through an app. Eligible participants must have a smartphone or tablet with internet access. Compensation provided.
Do you have an amputation at the forearm or wrist that occurred at least one year ago? Are you between 18-70 years old? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study to help better understand arm movement in order to develop new artificial limb technologies for people with amputations. Compensation provided.
You may be able to change the future of medicine. The All of Us PA Research Program is enrolling adults 18 years of age or older. This may be your chance to improve how your children and your children’s children receive medical care.
Do you have an amputation of one or both arms? Are you between 18 and 70? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study designed to develop new technologies that may improve prosthetic (artificial limb) control and reduce phantom limb pain. Compensation provided.
Do you have an amputation of one or both legs? Are you between 18 and 70? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study designed to develop new technologies that may improve prosthetic (artificial limb) control and reduce phantom limb pain. Compensation provided.
