Chet T. Moritz PhD, BS

​Dr. Chet Moritz is a UW associate professor in the Division of Physical Therapy, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. Dr. Moritz is developing treatments for paralysis using brain-computer interfaces and neurotechnology. Motor paralysis from stroke or spinal cord injury can be severe and long-lasting, despite damage to a relatively small area of the nervous system. Our goal is to develop neuroprosthetic devices capable of bypassing these damaged areas and restoring volitional control of movement to paralyzed limbs.
