The Movement Neuroscience and Rehabilitation (MNR) lab is housed within the Human Performance Clinical Research (HPCRL) facility, which includes 15,800 sq. ft. of clinical and administrative research space. The HPCRL is a designated CSU Program of Research and Scholarly Excellence. HPCRL serves as a center for interdisciplinary research, training, and outreach efforts that address the etiology, prevention, intervention, and treatment of major chronic diseases including cardiovascular and neurological diseases such as stroke, dementia, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and other degenerative conditions associated with aging.

The MNR lab is approximately 6002 feet housed in the Human Performance Clinical Research (HPCRL) facility. The lab includes space for data collection, computing and data processing, and student offices. There are multiple rooms that are used for data collection. 1) Functional assessment room: The room is equipped with a high-performance, motion-enabled driving simulator, and wearable sensory technology for gait and surface electromyography recording. This room features nonslip flooring to provide a safe mobility environment for older individuals. 2) Cognitive-motor testing room:  This room is equipped with computers for cognitive tests such as Useful-field-of-view tests as well as pen and paper-based neuropsychological assessments. Further, high-quality, custom-designed motor testing equipment that has modern grounding and electrical wiring to eliminate interference from radio frequency signals is housed in this room.3) Functional rehabilitation room: This room is fully dedicated to conducting interventions and treatment sessions for individuals with neurological impairments. 4) A clinical assessment area is available for questionnaires and any other clinical testing and has a mobile clinical cart.
