About
Kathryn Luttin’s research lies at the intersection of neural control of movement and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on how the nervous system adapts to mechanical perturbations during locomotion. Her most-cited work, “Locomotor adaptations and aftereffects to resistance during walking in individuals with spinal cord injury” (2011, 62 citations), investigates how proprioceptive feedback and anticipatory motor commands shape muscle activity in the swing phase of gait. By demonstrating that individuals with spinal cord injury can adapt and retain locomotor strategies in response to prolonged resistance, Luttin’s findings have informed the design of robotic exoskeletons and rehabilitation protocols aimed at restoring walking function. Her contributions bridge basic sensorimotor neuroscience and clinical application, offering insights into neuroplasticity after injury. With a citation record that underscores the translational relevance of her work, Luttin continues to advance our understanding of adaptive locomotion, making her a key figure in the field of motor control and neurorehabilitation.
