About

Aimee Reiss is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation, pioneering the use of robotic-assisted telerehabilitation to overcome barriers of access and geography. Her work focuses on developing and validating home-based interventions that deliver high-quality, intensive therapy to post-stroke individuals who otherwise lack access to comprehensive rehabilitative services. Reiss’s most significant contribution is the HAAPI (Home Arm Assistance Progression Initiative) Trial, a landmark study with 130 citations that demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of combining robotic therapy with remote monitoring to improve upper extremity motor function. She also led the Home Stroke Rehabilitation and Monitoring System Trial (57 citations), which provided critical evidence for pairing robotic devices with individualized home exercise programs. Through case studies and clinical trials, Reiss has shown that portable robotic devices can deliver consistent, state-of-the-art therapy outside clinical settings. Her work addresses a critical gap in post-stroke care, proving that technology can democratize rehabilitation and improve outcomes for underserved populations. Reiss’s research remains foundational for the growing field of telerehabilitation and home-based neurorecovery.
