About

K. J. Miller’s research lies at the vital intersection of assistive robotics, neurorehabilitation, and aging-in-place technology. Her most influential work, a systematic review on robotics for older adults (70 citations), critically evaluated decades of literature to map how robotic systems can enable independent living for our rapidly aging population—a foundational contribution that shaped subsequent research priorities. Miller further advanced rehabilitation science by investigating how digital technology can deliver meaningful therapy for individuals with hemiparesis, using focus groups to capture both adult and pediatric perspectives on therapeutic technology acceptance (35 citations). Her translational work includes a pioneering study combining repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with robot-assisted training to enhance wrist muscle activation post-stroke (17 citations), demonstrating her commitment to merging neuromodulation with robotic rehabilitation. Through these contributions, Miller has established herself as a key voice in evidence-based assistive technology, bridging engineering, clinical practice, and user-centered design to create practical solutions for neurological recovery and independent aging.
