About
Dr. Celia Clarke is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on restoring mobility in individuals with neurological impairments. Her key research areas include robot-assisted gait training (RAGT), quantitative biomechanics, and outcome measure development for spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation. Dr. Clarke’s major contribution lies in establishing objective, reliable metrics to evaluate the efficacy of robotic therapy. Her seminal 2014 paper, “Isometric hip and knee torque measurements as an outcome measure in robot assisted gait training,” demonstrated how precise torque measurements can quantify strength gains in lower limb muscles following RAGT in incomplete SCI patients. This work, cited 17 times, provided a critical methodological framework for moving beyond subjective assessments in rehabilitation trials. By bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice, Dr. Clarke has helped validate robotic interventions as evidence-based tools for functional recovery. Her research continues to shape how clinicians and engineers design and assess neurorehabilitation protocols, making her a pivotal figure in the advancement of patient-centered, data-driven therapy for spinal cord injury.
