Risk & Recovery Models Research
At the U-M Medical School Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, we are dedicated to developing and testing models of risk and recovery through data science and other innovative methods. Our research focuses using data science and other methods to develop and test models of care, understand mechanisms of injury and recovery, and to generate risk prediction models and recovery trajectories.
Learn more about how our research is shaping the future of care and recovery for individuals with injuries and disabilities.
