Dr. Kautz designed and equipped the individual laboratories that constitute the Quantitative Behavioral Assessment & Rehabilitation (QBAR) Core shortly after his recruitment to MUSC in 2010. Dr. Kautz designed and directed a similarly organized laboratory at the VA Brain Rehabilitation Research Center in Gainesville, FL for six years and has a history of funding with direct relevance to behavioral assessment and rehabilitation. Over the past 12 years, he has been Principal Investigator (or Co-Principal Investigator) of 16 different awards in stroke rehabilitation totaling more than $7 million, relatively evenly split between the NIH and the VA. He is well-published and widely recognized as an expert in applying biomechanical and neurophysiological principles to understand the coordination of movement in persons with post-stroke hemiparesis. His research combines theoretical and experimental studies of the control of movement, functional biomechanics, and clinical neurorehabilitation with the goal of improving function in persons with neurological disorders. He has nearly 20 years of experience in measuring motor performance related to neuromuscular control (nearly all in persons after stroke or healthy control subjects) and has published more than 70 peer-reviewed articles.
Dr. Kautz also mentors faculty through his role as director of QBAR. He has substantial experience in mentoring junior faculty, having served as primary mentor for five Assistant Professors who have been awarded VA Career Development Awards (mentoring all five in quantitative behavioral analyses in stroke rehabilitation research). In total, he has served as a mentor on 17 mentored grants for junior faculty, either NIH K awards or VA Career Development Awards, with a majority of the mentees (12) pursuing stroke rehabilitation research.
