About
Dr. Emma Kaplan is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on upper extremity recovery following stroke. Her work centers on optimizing the timing and dosage of technology-driven interventions, particularly virtual reality (VR) and robotics, to maximize neuroplasticity and functional independence in persons with subacute stroke. Dr. Kaplan’s most-cited paper, a 2025 randomized controlled trial, provides critical evidence on how early and intensive VR-based rehabilitation can significantly improve motor outcomes, addressing a key gap in post-stroke care. With 7 citations, this study has already shaped clinical protocols and sparked further investigation into personalized rehabilitation schedules. Her contributions are notable for bridging engineering and clinical practice, demonstrating how immersive technologies can be systematically deployed to enhance recovery. Dr. Kaplan’s work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of neuroplasticity, rehabilitation engineering, and evidence-based stroke therapy, offering a roadmap for more effective, patient-centered interventions.
