Spearheading clinical-based, biomedical engineering human performance research
Our MissionÂ
Within the Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive technology Center for Human performance ("REACH"), we strive to understand and determine accessible, innovative solutions for a broad range of impaired and unimpaired people.
​
Our cutting-edge equipment alongside hands-on interactions with human participants provides invaluable real-life training and clinical interaction to our students, much needed for success within the biomedical workforce and toward seeing first-hand the impacts of research on people.

Professor of Biomedical Engineering
The ways the human body moves are complex, muscles must activate in conjunction with each other, the senses provide constant feedback and the brain is always processing the information.Â
If any of the pieces to smooth movement are disturbed through illness, injury, disability or aging; daily living tasks become exponentially harder. We seek to find new ways to improve outcomes for everyone.
Why do we research human performance?
