About
Shelley Selph is a prominent researcher in evidence-based medicine and systematic review methodology, with a particular focus on the health outcomes of individuals with physical disabilities. Her work bridges the gap between rigorous scientific synthesis and practical clinical applications, especially for populations with limited mobility. Selph’s most-cited paper, “Physical Activity and the Health of Wheelchair Users: A Systematic Review in Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, and Spinal Cord Injury” (2021, 65 citations), is a landmark contribution that systematically evaluates the benefits of physical activity for wheelchair users across three major neurological conditions. This review has become a critical resource for clinicians and rehabilitation specialists, highlighting the need for tailored exercise interventions to improve cardiovascular health, muscle function, and quality of life. Beyond this work, Selph has contributed extensively to the development of systematic review standards and has authored numerous meta-analyses for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Her research is characterized by its methodological rigor and its commitment to addressing health disparities, making her a key figure in evidence synthesis for disability and rehabilitation science.
