Consulting Researcher
Enrico Rejc, PhD, is a consulting researcher in the Tim and Caroline Reynolds Center for Spinal Stimulation at Kessler Foundation. He will split his time between Kessler Foundation and his Department of Medicine at the University of Udine, Italy. He previously worked at the University of Louisville as assistant professor and scientific director of the Metabolic, Neuromuscular and Skeletal Research Core at the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center and as an associate faculty member in the Department of Physiology.
Dr. Rejc studies the effects of spinal cord injury, disuse, aging, and physical exercise on the human neuromuscular system. For the past 10 years, his research has been primarily focused on the recovery of motor function after severe spinal cord injury using spinal cord epidural stimulation and activity-based training. He has led research projects and experimental sessions aimed at investigating the effects of peripheral sensory information, activity-based training paradigms, and spinal cord stimulation parameters on the recovery of standing postural control and lower- limb motor function in people with complete paralysis.
