About
Dr. Suzanne Kuys is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation, with a specific focus on integrating robotic-assisted therapy into routine clinical practice for upper limb recovery. Her work bridges the critical gap between technological innovation and real-world clinical implementation. Dr. Kuys’s major contributions center on understanding how occupational therapists and physiotherapists perceive and adopt robot-assisted upper limb therapy (RT-UL). Her seminal 2019 paper, cited 28 times, was among the first to explore therapists’ perceptions of introducing robotic training for stroke survivors, revealing key barriers and facilitators to clinical uptake. She has since systematically investigated the sustainability of these interventions, with a 2021 study (9 citations) auditing RT-UL use over 12 months to assess long-term integration. Her observational research (2020, 10 citations) quantified the actual repetitions, duration, and intensity of practice achieved with robotic assistance, providing foundational data for optimizing therapy dosage. Most recently, her 2025 work (2 citations) offers insights from Australian therapists on factors influencing acceptance. Dr. Kuys’s research is essential for clinicians and health services aiming to translate promising rehabilitation technologies into sustainable, evidence-based practice that meaningfully improves patient outcomes.
