About

Holly Gorin is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation, with a primary focus on optimizing upper extremity recovery through innovative, technology-driven interventions. Her work centers on understanding how the timing and intensity of therapy—particularly using virtual reality (VR) and robotic systems—can harness neuroplasticity to improve long-term functional outcomes for stroke survivors. Her most cited study, a randomized controlled trial examining the timing and dosage of VR-based upper extremity rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients, has already garnered 7 citations since its 2025 publication, underscoring its immediate impact on clinical practice. This landmark work addresses a critical gap by providing evidence-based guidelines for when and how much therapy is most effective, directly challenging conventional rehabilitation schedules. Gorin’s contributions are shaping a new paradigm in neurorehabilitation, where personalized, technology-augmented protocols replace one-size-fits-all approaches. Her research not only advances scientific understanding of motor recovery but also offers practical, scalable solutions to improve independence for the millions living with post-stroke deficits. For students and clinicians alike, Gorin’s work represents a vital bridge between cutting-edge technology and tangible patient outcomes.
