About

Dr. Gregory House is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the development and clinical application of virtual reality (VR) and robotic systems for upper-limb recovery. His work focuses on integrating cognitive and physical rehabilitation to address chronic pain and motor deficits in post-cancer and post-stroke populations. House’s most notable contribution is the creation of the *BrightArm Duo*, a low-friction robotic rehabilitation table that uses adaptive serious games to train dual-arm movement and grasp. His 2016 feasibility study on VR therapy for chronic pain after breast cancer surgery (78 citations) demonstrated significant benefits in reducing pain and depression, while his 2016 study on nursing home residents with chronic stroke (25 citations) showed the *BrightArm Duo*’s potential for maintenance therapy. His 2017 work extended these findings to early sub-acute stroke recovery, highlighting the system’s adaptability. With a total of over 100 citations across his key papers, House’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable, engaging solutions for long-term rehabilitation. His work is particularly impactful for aging populations and survivors of cancer or stroke, emphasizing functional independence and quality of life.
