Devoted to Rehabilitation Research

Research scientists and clinicians at Burke are devoted to improving the restoration of the body’s most cherished functions—vision, movement, thinking—and one of its most abhorred but necessary functions, pain. Rehabilitation research focuses on reducing acute and chronic disabilities includes a host of impairments ranging from paralysis, sensory loss, language function, dementia, to pain, cognitive, motor and vision recovery.

Discovering Tomorrow's Strategies, Treatments and Cures

Each individual’s journey to recovery wither it’s relearning to walk, talk, eat, see or learning to use a wheel-chair, prosthetic or new joint is a courageous journey. Research scientists at Burke work tirelessly and are intensively driven to find novel discovers for tomorrow’s strategies, treatments and cures to help improve the quality of life and well-being of those affected by a disabling disease or injury.
