Rehabilitation aims to restore function to people with physical or cognitive disabilities due to an injury to the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, or chronic illness. Psychologists study cognitive, behavioral, and affective factors, as well as characteristics of the nervous system, that contribute to the development and amelioration of disabilities. Areas of study in our Department include neuroplasticity, behavioral factors that contribute to physical disabilities and their rehabilitation, the application of virtual reality to rehabilitation, back pain, mobility limitations, visual attention, and speed of processing. Conditions of interest include stroke, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, aphasia, and mild cognitive impairment.
