About

Amanda Engler is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focused expertise on improving mobility for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Her major contribution lies in pioneering the clinical application of robotic exoskeletons for gait training, demonstrating through pilot investigations that supervised, over-ground training with these devices can enhance walking adaptability and functional outcomes in persons with MS. Her 2024 study, "The Effects of Robotic Exoskeleton Gait Training on Improving Walking Adaptability in Persons with MS," is a cornerstone of this work, providing early evidence that robotic-assisted therapy may offer advantages over conventional gait therapy. Though her citation count is currently modest—reflecting the recent and specialized nature of her research—her work is poised for significant impact as the field of wearable robotics expands. Engler’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering hope for restoring ambulatory function in populations with neurological impairments. Her dedication to rigorous, patient-centered trials marks her as a rising voice in rehabilitation science, with potential to shape future standards of care for MS and related conditions.
