Dr. Tanya Onushko is Assistant Chair and Lecturer in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at Marquette University. Her academic foundation includes a B.S. (2005), M.S. (2007), and Ph.D. (2011) in Biomedical Engineering from Marquette University, followed by postdoctoral training in Applied Kinesiology and Physiology at the University of Florida (2014). She teaches core biomedical engineering courses including BIEN 1100/1110 (Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Methods), BIEN 4480/4490 (Biomechanics Design Labs), and GEEN 2110 (Statics).
Her research specializes in neurorehabilitation, focusing on:
- Motor control adaptations in neurological conditions (spinal cord injury, stroke)
- Biomechanics of gait and balance
- Aging-related changes in motor performance
- Rehabilitation technologies including virtual reality applications
Her recent publications (2013-2019) demonstrate consistent focus on neurorehabilitation themes: 80% examine spinal cord injury/stroke recovery, 60% analyze aging effects on motor control, and 40% involve gait/balance interventions. Key methodologies include EMG analysis (67%), perturbation-based training (33%), and clinical populations studies (73%).
