About
Amy Wright is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in robotic-assisted gait training for stroke recovery. Her work focuses on translating cutting-edge technology into practical, home-based interventions that improve lower-limb function and overall quality of life for people living with chronic stroke. Wright’s major contribution is demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of overground robotic-assisted gait training using devices like the AlterG Bionic Leg orthosis. Her landmark 2020 randomized controlled trial, cited 58 times, showed that combining home-based robotic training with usual physiotherapy significantly improves clinical functional outcomes in chronic stroke patients. This study is notable for shifting rehabilitation from clinical settings to the home, increasing accessibility and patient autonomy. Wright has also explored the broader health impacts of this approach, including vascular health benefits, as seen in her 2023 work. With a growing citation record and a focus on community-based protocols, her research is paving the way for scalable, technology-driven rehabilitation strategies that empower stroke survivors to regain mobility and independence.
