Team Reeve Marathoners Visit Shirley Ryan AbilityLab to Learn About Mending the Connection Between Brain & Spinal Cord after a Spinal Cord Injury

During marathon weekend in Chicago this past October, the Team Reeve marathon athletes visited the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for an inside peek at promising research underway. This tour highlighted the work of NCAN researchers Monica Perez, PT, PhD, on noninvasive neurostimulation treatment targeting synaptic connections in the spinal cord to improve and preserve physical therapy functional improvements in patients with SCI and Martin Oudega, PhD, on clinically relevant translatable strategies to promote neural tissue repair and functional recovery after SCI.
