Video: Where physical therapy meets technology

Northeastern University's Neurosystems Laboratory is doing game-changing rehabilitation research through interdisciplinary collaboration. This video showcases two approaches: a hand exoskeleton system created through Julia Manczurowsky's physical therapy expertise, Professor Peter Whitney and his students' engineering (who designed and built the device), and CJ Hasson's basic science knowledge. The lab also studies able-bodied individuals to understand natural healing, with Julia's dissertation exploring the psychological dynamics between patients and clinicians—a critical but often overlooked component of recovery.
