Research
Our research is focused on three areas — all grounded in clinical problems, developed in close collaboration with clinicians at CMC Vellore, and evaluated by their usefulness in practice.
Physiological Measurements
Instrumentation, data acquisition, and analysis of physiological signals for clinical assessment and research. Work in this area spans electrodiagnostics, biosignal processing, and machine learning applied to physiological data.
- Electrodiagnostics & biosignal acquisition
- Biomedical signal processing
- Machine learning for clinical data
Movement Analysis
Rigorous, instrumented assessment of human movement for clinical decision-making and research. We develop methods and tools for analysing gait, upper limb function, and motor control in neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
- Gait & balance analysis
- Upper limb motor assessment
- Wearable sensing systems
Rehabilitation Engineering
Design and development of assistive devices, prostheses, and rehabilitation systems for people with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. We work closely with the Departments of PMR and Neurology at CMC Vellore.
- Prosthetics & assistive devices
- Rehabilitation robotics & FES
- Neuromodulation
Labs & Research Groups
Research at the department is carried out through focused groups working on specific problems in close collaboration with clinical departments at CMC Vellore.
Biological Learning and Rehabilitation Group
Works at the interface of engineering, neuromechanics, and neurorehabilitation — developing and validating tools and methods for assessing and training sensorimotor function after neurological injury.
