Welcome

Dr. Samejima’s primary research interests encompass a broad range of topics within the field of rehabilitation and neuromodulation for autonomic function following neurological conditions. These include:

1. exploring specific biological mechanisms related to spinal cord stimulation,
2. implementing therapeutic neuromodulation interventions, and
3. evaluating the impact of rehabilitation and neuromodulation on the cardiovascular and pelvic organ function after neurological conditions.

As a lab within UW’s Rehabilitation Medicine, we get to collaborate primarily with people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) of different levels to see how new technologies could enhance motor control for people with SCI. Our current projects aim to develop translational applications for transcutaneous electrical stimulation with physical therapy for long-term improvement in motor control leading improvements of daily activities.
