From theory-driven research to clinical treatments in neurorehabilitation
About us
Stroke, brain injury, and other central nervous system disorders can impair movement, language, information processing, and other abilities. Such disabilities result in loss of independence, substantial economic costs, and emotional burdens. Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute is devoted to improving the lives of individuals with neurological disabilities through research. Research at MRRI occupies a unique position within a translational “pipeline” from basic neuroscience to clinical neuroscience and neurorehabilitation. - We perform basic research, framed by theoretical perspectives, that maintains contact with the complexities of real-world functioning and leads to advances in neurorehabilitation assessment and treatment. - We perform patient-based research that informs basic science theories of complex cognitive and motor functioning and their neural bases and on the processes of change in these systems.

Struggling to assess attention after traumatic brain injury (#TBI)? The Moss Attention Rating Scale (MARS) offers a reliable, ecologically valid tool for clinicians to measure attention-related behavior in real-world settings. MARS helps quantify attention deficits and track changes over time, making it an essential resource in TBI clinical research and care. https://lnkd.in/eeDmkYpD

In this recent study, Dr. Amanda Rabinowitz, Dr. Umesh Venkatesan, and colleagues, developed a neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation index (NSDI) to examine its relationship with individual socioeconomic factors in people with traumatic brain injury (#TBI). The index correlated with income and education, indicating that certain groups experience greater neighborhood disadvantage. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eXwKuqBu
