Stroke Recovery
The sooner you start rehabilitation, the greater potential for recovery. Our pioneering work reveals that patients with stroke benefit greatly from early, high-intensity therapy … regardless of the type or severity of the stroke. We are the world’s choice for stroke care, research and outcomes.
Programs, Services & Patients
You want to recover what’s most important in your life — be it mobility, independence, walking, swallowing or speaking again. Together we reach for those goals.

Our integrated team of physicians, nurses, therapists, researchers and case managers understand the most complex injuries. They create programs for each patient – tailored to your individual goals. Therapy may take place in one or several ability labs.
Legs + Walking Lab
Arms + Hands Lab
Think + Speak Lab
Strength + Endurance Lab
We’ve discovered that people of almost any age and stroke severity, who can meaningfully participate, can benefit from high-intensity rehabilitation training for neurological recovery.
Science-Driven Care
With nearly 200 clinical trials and research studies specifically dedicated to improving function and recovery from stroke (including treatment for aphasia) — we offer you access to the world’s most advanced research, which can directly impact your recovery.

Locomotor function following transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation in individuals with hemiplegic stroke
Despite advances in stroke rehabilitation, more than two-thirds of the 7 million stroke survivors in the U.S. still struggle to walk independently in their communities. Most current therapies focus on stimulating the brain areas that control leg movement, yet many stroke survivors continue to face issues like poor coordination, spasticity, and muscle weakness. We propose a different approach—using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke. This study is looking for persons who have had a stroke to determine if spinal stimulation helps improve walking ability.
