Abstract
This thesis presents published work advancing Neurorehabilitation science. At the outset of the work (2010), gaps in knowledge impeded the investigation of neurosensorimotor recovery from neurotrauma. To begin to fill these gaps, I investigated engagement of the human system on two fronts: dance (Papers 1,2) and biomechanics (Papers 3-5). In Aim 1 of this thesis, I investigate application of arts-based concepts to performance of activity-based training, presenting 2 papers that established dance technology as augmentative for hospital-based Neurorehabilitation treatment. In Aim 2, I investigate biomechanics within the context of activity-based training, presenting 3 papers that characterize the dynamic solution space – or manifold – of healthy gait and posture to establish quantitative, physics-based parameters of clinical practices relevant to locomotor and balance Neurorehabilitation.
