The Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is currently involved in several research initiatives designed to improve our knowledge of disability and how it affects people’s lives.
Currently, our research activities focus on the long-term consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury. Through our research in these areas, we aspire to develop better treatments and therapies for these conditions. Each year, we receive several million dollars of research funding from public and private sources.
