About
Courtney G. E. Hilderman is a researcher dedicated to advancing neurorehabilitation through human-computer interaction. Her primary research areas lie at the intersection of assistive technology, game-based therapy, and social media applications for motor recovery. Hilderman made a significant contribution as part of the FEATHERS (Functional Engagement in Assisted Therapy Through Exercise Robotics) project, where she led the development and usability testing of innovative motion tracking and social networking applications. These tools were designed to improve upper limb rehabilitation for stroke survivors and teenagers with cerebral palsy, directly addressing the critical challenge of patient engagement in therapy. Her most-cited work, "Usability testing of gaming and social media applications for stroke and cerebral palsy upper limb rehabilitation" (2014), has garnered 43 citations, highlighting its influence in the field. By demonstrating how gamified, socially connected platforms can enhance motivation and functional outcomes, Hilderman’s research provides a compelling blueprint for creating more effective, patient-centered rehabilitation technologies. Her work continues to inspire new approaches to making therapy both effective and engaging.
