Integrating Research into Our Care Our facility is the first of its kind, where clinicians, scientists, innovators and technologists work together in the same space, surrounding patients, discovering new approaches and applying (or “translating”) research real time. This translational care model enables patients to have 24/7 access to the brightest minds, the latest research and the best opportunity for recovery.
With the largest portfolio of rehabilitation research in the world, we have a global reputation for developing treatments and technologies that translate to better outcomes for patients. The hospital is home to the world’s largest research center dedicated to physical medicine and rehabilitation, with more than 300 active research studies underway and 800,000 square feet of dedicated space. The dynamic relationship between our clinicians and scientists fosters research developed in response to patients’ needs and, in turn, results in discoveries and innovations that benefit you. Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is the only rehabilitation hospital with a record of five federal research designations funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research. We utilize the most advanced technologies (including the Lokomat, Exsoskeleton and Armeo) and the best- supported practices so you can be sure your care is situated at the forefront of discovery.
