Sonenblum Clinical Research Group Engineering clinical research to improve healthcare

The Rehabilitation Engineering and Applied Research (REAR) Lab undertakes applied research and development targeting the increased health and function of persons with disabilities. Specific areas of interest include: wheeled mobility and seating, pressure ulcer prevention and treatment; design of diagnostic tissue interrogation devices; and design of assistive technologies. The Director of the lab, Stephen Sprigle, is a Professor in Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology (http://www.id.gatech.edu/people/stephen-h-sprigle). As both a biomedical engineer and physical therapist, Dr. Sprigle's interests bridge the biomechanics of wheelchair seating, standardized wheelchair cushion and support surface testing and assistive technology design as well as posture and pressure ulcer prevention.

I am excited to be featured in a Popular Science article about butts. Anyone who has heard me present knows that I love talking about what I do, and I love making research accessible to everyone. Popular Science is expanding that audience even farther. It is unfortunately behind a paywall, but check it out if you can. https://www.popsci.com/science/butt-science/

Skilled nursing staff/caregivers needed for a research study

We would like to engage you or your staff to participate in a phone interview or focus group about technology that provides movement feedback to prevent pressure injuries in patients who have or at risk for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)/Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), and who use wheelchairs.

Participants will answer questions about their work environment, their involvement with patients who have AD/ADRD, and aspects of their job that involve skin health and pressure injury prevention. During these interviews and focus groups, only non-identifying information will be collected about them and the facility. Phone interviews will last no more than 45 minutes, and focus groups will last no more than 1.5 hours. Compensation will be offered to participants and facilities, because we understand your time is valuable.

For more information, please contact:
