Research Focus
Dr. Chandramouli Krishnan's lab focuses on understanding and improving walking difficulties faced by stroke survivors. The research investigates how joint stiffness and viscosity in the ankle affect mobility and explores the implications of Botulinum Neurotoxin injections that are commonly used to treat these issues. The lab aims to develop new assessment techniques that can be applied in clinical settings, helping to enhance treatment options and improve the quality of life for individuals recovering from strokes.
