About
Maryam Maleki is a researcher whose work bridges two critical frontiers in healthcare: neurorehabilitation and geriatric technology. Her investigations into gait training for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients have clarified the comparative efficacy of body weight support treadmill training, robotic-assisted systems, and exoskeletons, providing clinicians with evidence-based pathways to restore standing and walking function. This foundational work, cited in key rehabilitation studies, underscores her commitment to restoring mobility and independence after catastrophic injury. Simultaneously, Maleki has emerged as a leading voice in the evaluation of robot-assisted medication management for older adults. Her mixed-method systematic review (2025) synthesizes patient and caregiver experiences with medication management robots, addressing the urgent challenges of polypharmacy, cognitive decline, and non-adherence in home and long-term care settings. By rigorously assessing both the promise and pitfalls of these technologies, she provides a roadmap for safer, more effective aging-in-place solutions. With publications spanning from 2018 to 2025, Maleki’s work demonstrates a rare ability to integrate rigorous systematic review methodology with pressing clinical needs, making her a vital contributor to the future of both rehabilitation engineering and assistive robotics.
