About
Danielle M. Stramel is a leading researcher in the field of robotic gait rehabilitation, with a primary focus on developing and validating innovative assistive devices to improve mobility and balance in clinical populations. Her major contributions center on the design and application of the mobile Tethered Pelvic Assist Device (mTPAD), a novel overground robotic system that applies precisely controlled forces to the pelvis during walking. Stramel’s work has demonstrated the mTPAD’s efficacy in improving gait symmetry and weight-bearing in stroke survivors, with her most-cited paper (20 citations) exploring how light-touch, person-following devices enhance stability during visually perturbed walking in virtual reality. She has also pioneered the use of pelvic perturbations for balance training in older adults, showing dual-task benefits for both motor and cognitive performance. Her research, totaling over 57 citations, uniquely bridges engineering, neuroscience, and clinical rehabilitation, establishing her as a key figure in advancing robotic tools for personalized gait therapy.
