About
Dr. Cindy Clark is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation and neurorecovery, with a focus on developing accessible, technology-driven interventions to restore upper extremity function. Her work bridges the gap between clinical rehabilitation and home-based care, particularly for individuals with limited access to intensive therapy. In her seminal 2013 case study, "Incorporating Robotic-Assisted Telerehabilitation in a Home Program to Improve Arm Function Following Stroke" (33 citations), Dr. Clark demonstrated the feasibility and potential of combining a portable robotic device with a structured home program to enhance motor recovery after stroke. This pioneering contribution laid critical groundwork for the emerging field of telerehabilitation, showing that robotic assistance can be effectively deployed outside clinical settings to deliver high-dose, task-specific practice. Her research has been instrumental in shifting rehabilitation paradigms toward patient-centered, scalable solutions that empower survivors to continue recovery independently. With a growing body of work cited by clinicians and engineers alike, Dr. Clark’s innovations continue to shape how we think about post-stroke care, making her a key voice in the movement toward equitable, technology-enabled neurorehabilitation.
