About
Dr. Fatimah Misbaah is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery. Her work centers on the synergistic integration of epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) with robotic therapy and motor imagery to restore function in patients with chronic, complete sensorimotor SCI. Dr. Misbaah’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of combining SCS with robotic neurorehabilitation to facilitate motor recovery, as evidenced by her case series on synergistic integration—a foundational study with 3 citations. She has also critically addressed the significant recruitment challenges inherent in clinical trials for this specific population, as detailed in her 2025 paper on the RESTORES trial, which has garnered 4 citations. Her research highlights the critical role of prehabilitation and trunk rehabilitation in optimizing outcomes post-implant. By tackling both the clinical and logistical barriers to recovery, Dr. Misbaah’s work is shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation for individuals with severe spinal cord injuries.
