Research

Denise TateDenise Tate, Ph.D.

Research is essential to physical medicine and rehabilitation. The U-M Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation is dedicated to the development of rehabilitation research to meet the growing need of persons with disabilities in America.  It is one of the top five programs in the country in terms of publications, presentations, and extramural support. Our Grants and Contracts Office supports the endeavors of our nationally recognized faculty and staff.

We conduct both clinical and basic science research. The resulting knowledge gives us an edge in creating new therapies and devices that improve the mobility, functionality and independence of persons with disabilities.
