About
J. Preston Wiley is a leading researcher in the objective assessment of sport-related concussion, specializing in the intersection of robotics, neurology, and sports medicine. His work centers on developing precise, quantitative tools to overcome the limitations of traditional, subjective concussion evaluations. Wiley’s major contribution is the validation and application of the KINARM end-point robot to measure sensory, motor, and neurocognitive function in athletes. His landmark 2018 study on test-retest reliability (32 citations) established the KINARM as a robust tool for baseline assessment in young adult athletes, demonstrating its capacity to provide objective data free from patient reporting bias. He further advanced the field with a subsequent 2018 study (16 citations) that used the KINARM to map acute neurological impairment and recovery trajectories following sport-related concussion. By quantifying deficits in reaching, proprioception, and cognition, Wiley’s research provides clinicians with a powerful, data-driven framework for return-to-play decisions, moving concussion management from subjective symptom checklists toward precise, robotic assessment.
