About

Dr. Frederick Okoye is a leading voice in stroke rehabilitation and digital health innovation, whose work is reshaping how survivors regain function after neurological injury. His research centers on telerehabilitation, neurorecovery, and health equity, with a particular focus on overcoming the systemic barriers—cost, transportation, and limited specialist access—that prevent many patients from receiving optimal care. His landmark 2020 paper, "Impact of Telerehabilitation for Stroke-Related Deficits," has garnered 97 citations and provides a rigorous synthesis of evidence demonstrating that remote therapy can be as effective as in-person care for improving motor function, cognition, and quality of life. This work has been instrumental in shifting clinical practice toward more accessible, technology-enabled models of recovery. Dr. Okoye’s contributions extend beyond synthesis; he has developed novel protocols for integrating wearable sensors and mobile platforms into home-based rehabilitation, and his advocacy for underserved populations has influenced policy discussions on telehealth reimbursement. With a growing citation footprint and a reputation for bridging rigorous science with real-world implementation, Dr. Okoye is helping to define the future of equitable, evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
