view labAbout Me
Chen Yang, PhD, is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Max N?der Lab for Rehabilitation Technologies and Outcomes Research (Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91) and Northwestern University. He received his PhD degree in Kinesiology at McGill University in 2021, with a focus on biomechanics. His PhD research investigated human body adaptations to muscle fatigue from the perspectives of inter-segmental coordination, variability, and electromyography. Currently, his research at the Max N?der Lab is about using spinal cord stimulation combined with gait training to help stroke survivors improve functional gait.
