About
Dr. Addie Middleton is a rehabilitation scientist whose research focuses on advancing neurorehabilitation for individuals with neurological injuries, particularly stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her major contributions lie in exploring the feasibility and potential of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), as adjuncts to traditional physical therapy. In her highly cited 2014 pilot study, which has garnered 45 citations, Dr. Middleton examined the pairing of tDCS with upper extremity physical therapy using both clinical and robotic assessment tools. This work provided critical early evidence that such combined interventions are safe and feasible, paving the way for larger-scale investigations into enhancing motor recovery. Her research is notable for integrating innovative technologies—including robotic assessment—to objectively measure treatment outcomes, bridging the gap between laboratory-based tools and clinical practice. Dr. Middleton’s work has significant implications for designing more effective, personalized rehabilitation protocols, and her findings continue to inform how clinicians approach recovery of upper limb function after neurological injury.
