About

R. G. Querry is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work focuses on understanding how robotic and body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) can restore walking function by engaging supraspinal centers. In her highly cited 2005 study (221 citations), she demonstrated that robotic locomotor therapy induces significant changes in brain activation patterns, revealing the neural plasticity underlying functional gains in motor-incomplete SCI patients. Querry also developed a clinically valuable prediction model (2009, 36 citations) that estimates over-ground walking speed after 36 BWSTT sessions, offering a practical tool for rehabilitation planning. Her innovative 2008 study (35 citations) introduced a method to synchronize soleus H-reflex monitoring with robotic gait cycles, enabling precise assessment of spinal reflex modulation during therapy. Additionally, her 2006 work on robotic orthoses (41 citations) advanced the design of assistive devices for treadmill training. Querry’s contributions bridge neuroscience and clinical practice, providing evidence-based frameworks for optimizing locomotor recovery and improving quality of life for individuals with SCI.
