Dr. Aaron Wong's Cognitive-Motor Learning Laboratory has been working on several NIH-supported studies investigating the impact of left hemisphere stroke on the ability to use tools. Over the past year, he also presented new research on motivation, effort, and movement in Parkinson’s disease at the Society for the Neural Control of Movement Annual Meeting. His research integrates behavioral, computational, and neuropsychological approaches to better understand motor learning and control, with the goal of improving rehabilitation for individuals with movement disorders.

The Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS), developed by our Institute’s scientists, aims to open the “black box” of rehabilitation by providing a standardized framework to clearly define treatment targets and the active ingredients intended to address them. In this article, Dr. John Whyte—a leader in the development of the RTSS—highlights recent updates and advances, including exciting applications of the RTSS across education, research, and clinical practice.

Severe often results in a period of impaired consciousness and/or communication, which interferes with the patient’s ability to accurately report symptoms. Our Institute researchers, in collaboration with the University Hospital, Copenhagen, developed the Brain Injury Nociception Assessment Measure ( ) to assess the behavioral and physiologic responses (i.e., nociception) in unconscious patients.
