Biography

Carolynn Patten is a Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at UC Davis Health. She directs the Biomechanics, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Neuroscience (BRaIN) Lab and co-leads the Center for Neuroengineering Medicine. Dr. Patten’s research focuses on understanding the neural basis of human movement, particularly in the context of motor dysfunction associated with aging and neurological conditions like stroke. She aims to elucidate the mechanisms behind movement dysfunction and identify factors that contribute to rehabilitation efficacy. Her work employs various techniques including transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroencephalography, electromyography, and biomechanical measures to study human performance and recovery. Importantly, Dr. Patten's research has practical implications for clinical neurorehabilitation, helping patients maximize recovery and improve their quality of life.
