The Casa Colina Research Institute (CCRI) conducts a broad range of medical
research on neurological and orthopedic injury and illness, striving to
transform scientific advances into improved patient care and outcomes.
To learn more about some of the exciting research taking place at CCRI,

VOA/TEK tells the story of a patient in a minimally conscious state who
is participating in medical research at the Casa Colina Research Institute
in Pomona, California. The program interviews his family, as well as the
researchers and physicians conducting an ongoing clinical study on Disorders
of Consciousness (DOCs). Researchers from Casa Colina and UCLA are working
together to better understand the effectiveness of Low-Intensity Focused
Ultrasound Pulsation (LIFUP) therapy on improving consciousness recovery
and quality of life for patients who are experiencing DOCs after sustaining
traumatic brain injuries.
Moving objects using mind control sounds like something out of a science
fiction story. But it’s happening now thanks to a collaboration
between the Casa Colina Research Institute (CCRI), UCLA, and the California
Institute of Technology. Scripps Tech visited Casa Colina’s Pomona
campus to learn more about how their exciting Brain Computer Interface
research is benefitting those with paralysis—like longtime study
participant James Johnson, who teamed with CCRI shortly after suffering
a spinal cord injury in 2017.
VOA/TEK interviews patients, therapists, and physicians at Casa Colina
Hospital and Centers for Healthcare in Pomona, California, to understand
the wide variation in outcomes for individuals with traumatic brain injuries.
In partnership with the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the
California Institute of Technology, Casa Colina is conducting fascinating
breakthrough research that explores how individuals with paralysis can
control a computer using thought alone. The Casa Colina Research Institute
conducts basic, translational, and clinical research to improve patient
care and discover novel findings about disabilities.
Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare, the David Geffen School
of Medicine at UCLA, and the California Institute of Technology team on
a study that allows individuals with paralysis to control a computer using
thought alone.
