About

Dr. Jill See is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation, whose work bridges the critical gap between neural injury and functional recovery. Her primary research areas include motor recovery after stroke, the use of robotic therapy for upper extremity rehabilitation, and the identification of biomarkers that predict treatment response. Dr. See’s most impactful contributions stem from her efforts to standardize clinical assessments and to understand how brain structure and function influence therapy outcomes. Her landmark paper on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (308 citations) established a gold-standard scoring protocol that has become essential for clinical trials. She has also published highly influential work demonstrating that the anatomy of a stroke injury can predict gains from therapy (238 citations) and that neural function and stroke subtype are key determinants of treatment success (212 citations). Her research has consistently shown that baseline motor status and specific brain circuits, such as the dorsal premotor cortex, are critical targets for restorative therapies. With over 800 total citations, Dr. See’s work has fundamentally shaped how clinicians and researchers design and evaluate rehabilitation interventions, moving the field toward more personalized, biomarker-driven approaches to post-stroke care.
