Locomotor Control Systems Laboratory

The mission of the Locomotor Control System Laboratory is to develop high-performance wearable control systems (e.g., prostheses and orthoses) to enable mobility and improve quality of life for persons with disabilities. We approach this needs-driven research from the perspective of dynamical systems and control theory, investigating and translating concepts from the field of legged robotics into transformative solutions for physical rehabilitation. Located at the University of Michigan, the laboratory is a highly interdisciplinary environment dedicated to scientific innovation, clinical translation, and individual career development.
