About

Dr. Alexandra K. Mullins is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on haptic feedback systems for gait recovery. Her most-cited work, "A task oriented haptic gait rehabilitation robot" (2014), has garnered 48 citations and represents a foundational contribution to the design of robotic exoskeletons that integrate tactile feedback to enhance motor learning in stroke survivors and individuals with spinal cord injuries. This paper introduced a novel framework that combines task-specific training with real-time haptic cues, enabling more intuitive and adaptive rehabilitation protocols. Dr. Mullins’ research bridges the gap between mechanical engineering and clinical neuroscience, demonstrating how robotic systems can be tailored to individual patient needs. Her work has been instrumental in advancing patient-centered rehabilitation technologies, with implications for both clinical practice and assistive device design. Beyond her cited publications, she is recognized for her interdisciplinary collaborations and her commitment to translating laboratory innovations into accessible therapeutic tools. Dr. Mullins continues to shape the field by developing intelligent, responsive robotic systems that restore mobility and improve quality of life for individuals with neurological impairments.
