About
Dr. AM Barrett is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on upper extremity recovery following stroke. Her work centers on developing and evaluating innovative, technology-driven therapies to address persistent sensorimotor deficits that impair daily function. A key contribution is her investigation of interactive virtual environments for hand-focused rehabilitation in the subacute phase post-stroke, as detailed in her most-cited paper (2020, 9 citations). This work challenges conventional motor therapies by targeting the hand specifically, aiming to reduce the over 50% of stroke survivors who continue to struggle with self-care and participation. Dr. Barrett’s research bridges the gap between cutting-edge virtual reality and clinical practice, offering scalable, engaging interventions that promote neuroplasticity and functional recovery. Her findings have implications for designing more effective, patient-centered rehabilitation protocols. Through her rigorous studies, she has advanced understanding of how immersive technologies can transform motor learning and recovery, making her a notable voice in the field of stroke rehabilitation and assistive technology.
