Research at Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare is a collaboration
of doctors, scientists, and other rehabilitation professionals. These
projects support the mission, vision, and values of our organization.
Our current research studies focus on improving the lives of individuals
with disabilities, with a particular emphasis on patients with neurological
conditions. This includes outcomes-based research projects that measure
the impact of medical rehabilitation as well as clinical studies that
aim to identify biomarkers of recovery and novel interventions for conditions
and impairments treated. All research at Casa Colina is generously funded
through the support of the Casa Colina Foundation, other foundations,
and rehabilitation industry sponsors.
Clinical research is essential to developing new effective therapeutic
interventions for individuals with medical rehabilitation needs. At the
Casa Colina Research Institute, we focus on the major diagnoses at Casa
Colina to investigate new interventions and support evidence-based clinical
practices for the treatment of disabilities caused by a stroke, traumatic
brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other neurologic conditions and
movement disorders.
Casa Colina Research Institute’s clinical research projects include
studies related to:
To improve the lives of patients through innovative rehabilitation research,
leading to better treatments and outcomes, especially for those with neurological
conditions.
What We Do
Use advanced technology to understand how the brain changes and recovers
from injury and illness.
Focus on therapies that help the brain and nervous system heal, recover,
and adapt.
Conduct research to improve these treatments and develop new ones.
Our Goals
Expand research capabilities: Invest in advanced technologies that study
and treat the brain, initiate AI data management, and enhance our staffing
structure.
Build sustainable academic partnerships: Develop graduate-level and post-doctoral
programs aligned with the institution’s research strengths to train
the next generation of researchers.
Improve patient care: Identify a path between the Casa Colina Research
Institute and the Casa Colina Hospital that will allow research findings
to be implemented into clinical practice, via the development of nationally
recognized specialized programs for various neurological conditions.
Increase national and international recognition: Share our findings through
media and high impact journals, develop national and international partnerships
and projects, and secure more funding to support our work.
