About
Dr. Carly Creelman is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in developing and evaluating robotic and biofeedback technologies for post-stroke motor recovery. Her work centers on the critical challenge of restoring hand function after chronic stroke, a key determinant of functional independence. Dr. Creelman’s major contribution lies in pioneering the clinical application of electromyography (EMG)-triggered hand robots, which use a patient’s own residual muscle signals to initiate robotic assistance during therapy. Her landmark 2019 feasibility study on this approach, which has garnered 17 citations, demonstrated that this closed-loop system is not only feasible but also clinically useful for individuals with chronic stroke, paving the way for more intuitive and effective rehabilitation protocols. By bridging the gap between neural intent and mechanical action, her research has significant implications for enhancing neuroplasticity and improving quality of life. Dr. Creelman’s work is foundational for students and researchers interested in the intersection of assistive robotics, human-machine interfaces, and evidence-based stroke rehabilitation.
