Director, Metabolic, Neuromuscular, and Skeletal Core, Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center
Assistant Professor, Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Louisville
With a research focus on understanding the effects of activity-based training with spinal cord epidural stimulation on motor recovery in individuals with motor complete SCI, Dr. Rejc’s work has identified guidelines to optimize stimulation parameters for standing (2015, PlosOne) as well as training-induced neural adaptations leading to independent standing (2017, J Neurotrauma and Scientific Reports). Most recently, he is leading a collaboration to develop predictive algorithms for further improving the selection of stimulation parameters for standing and facilitating clinical translation.
