Welcome to the Motor Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory (MoNeL) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Located in the Department of Health and Kinesiology, MoNeL investigates the neural mechanisms underlying movement impairments and develops innovative approaches to rehabilitation. By integrating neuroscience, biomechanics, and rehabilitation science, we seek to enhance functional independence and improve quality of life for individuals with movement limitations. 

Drawing on the interdisciplinary strengths of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, we collaborate with researchers, clinicians, and engineers within and beyond the university to translate fundamental discoveries into innovative technologies and clinically meaningful rehabilitation strategies. 

Research and education are central to the MoNeL mission. We are committed to preparing the next generation of scientists and clinicians through rigorous mentorship, collaborative scholarship, and hands-on research. We invite you to explore our site and discover the people, projects, and ideas shaping the future of movement science and neurorehabilitation.
