Rhagolwg
Our mission is to better understand the links between brain and hand function, and to use this knowledge to improve patient care.
Exquisitely designed for function, our hands enable us to literally reshape our world around us. When brain or bodily injury impairs our ability to use our hands, their pivotal role in upholding our independence and quality of life is made painfully clear. Our lab is dedicated to furthering our understanding of the neuroscience of human hand function. With this knowledge, new and improved rehabilitation interventions for people with sensory and movement impairments can be developed.
