About

Carolin Dohle is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, with a focus on fall prevention and robotic interventions for stroke survivors. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice to improve mobility, safety, and quality of life for individuals with neurological impairments. Dohle’s most impactful contributions include investigating technology-based fall prevention strategies—a critical area given falls remain a top quality metric in healthcare settings—and pioneering robotic training protocols. Her study on Walkbot-assisted locomotor training (WLT) in acute hemiplegia demonstrated significant improvements not only in gait and balance but also in cardiopulmonary function, depression, and fall confidence, with 47 citations highlighting its influence. Additionally, her pilot work on a robotic protocol for shoulder subluxation in chronic stroke patients addressed a painful, common complication limiting upper limb recovery. With over 100 combined citations across her key papers, Dohle’s research is shaping evidence-based rehabilitation, offering scalable, tech-driven solutions that enhance both physical and psychological outcomes for patients navigating recovery.
