RSD 6710: Motor Control Translating from Fundamental Research to Rehabilitation Practice
Taught by Zheng Wang, PhD
This course defines fundamental concepts and theories related to motor control and movement science and discusses these concepts in the context of neurorehabilitation. The course emphasizes atypical motor control functions and underlying neurophysiological mechanisms following disease/injury. Students will practice scientific writing and presentation skills through weekly in-class presentations.
This course is open to all Rehabilitation Science doctoral students.
RSD 6930: Disability, Occupation and Participation Science Journal Club
Taught by Chiung-Ju “CJ” Liu, PhD, OTR/L, FGSA
This is a one credit course for RSD doctoral students. Disability, Occupation and Participation Science (DOPS) studies functioning of humans through the lifespan with a focus on abilities to execute tasks, roles, and activities within everyday lives, in order to support health and participation. The course consists of critical review and discussion of seminal work and recent literature from top peer-reviewed journals pertaining to DOPS.
This course is open to all Rehabilitation Science doctoral students.

RSD 6930: Matlab Foundations for Rehabilitation Science
Taught by Zheng Wang, PhD
This course introduces Matlab foundations to students and trains them to code, compute, analyze, and plot research data that are commonly collected in rehabilitation science studies. Students do not need to have prior experience in programming to be enrolled in the class. RSD students do not need prerequisite programming skills to take this class. Sample data will be provided for all lab sessions. Students will need their own data (data type varies from genetic to histological, clinical, behavioral, and driving simulator data) to complete their final assignment.
This course is open to all Rehabilitation Science doctoral students.
