About
Dr. Emma Sutton is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, with a focus on bridging the critical gap between technological innovation and clinical adoption. Her work centers on understanding and overcoming the barriers that prevent robotic devices from being integrated into routine stroke rehabilitation. In her highly cited 2022 study (24 citations), Dr. Sutton applied the extended Technology Acceptance Model to systematically explore the factors influencing clinicians' likelihood to use robotics for upper limb rehabilitation, providing crucial insights into the human and systemic elements that drive technology uptake. Her foundational 2020 work (13 citations) further advanced this field by demonstrating how user-centred design, grounded in clinical best practice, can create rehabilitation robots that are both effective and practical for therapists. By prioritizing the clinician's perspective and emphasizing the importance of clear therapeutic objectives, Dr. Sutton’s research is instrumental in shaping the next generation of rehabilitation technology, ensuring that robotic tools are not only innovative but truly adoptable in clinical settings.
