Orthopaedic & Rehabilitation Engineering Center (OREC)

This Center is designed to promote and encourage significant advances in clinical research through coordinated endeavors between Marquette University and the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). These opportunities are afforded to faculty and students at Marquette University and to faculty, fellows, and residents in the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the MCW. OREC builds upon prior successful collaborations in the fields of orthopaedic biomechanics, biomaterials, rehabilitation engineering, and human motion analysis.

The goal of OREC is to establish a focus of excellence with national recognition in research and research training, and to increase levels of extramural support. OREC is designed to be of mutual benefit to faculty and students at Marquette University and at the Medical College of Wisconsin. In addition to research grants, OREC houses several federal training grants. For more information go directly to the OREC home page, or see a summary description of the key OREC Laboratories.
