About
Kevin McGehrin is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation and motor control, with a focus on restoring function after neurological injury. His work centers on understanding how robotic training and brain-computer interfaces can drive plasticity in the damaged nervous system. McGehrin’s major contributions include demonstrating that a single session of ankle robot (anklebot) training can produce concurrent improvements in paretic ankle motor control and measurable changes in brain electrical activity in sub-acute stroke survivors—a finding that challenges assumptions about the time scales of neural recovery. His 2012 pilot study, though modestly cited with 5 references, laid critical groundwork for integrating robotics with neurophysiological assessment in stroke rehabilitation. McGehrin’s research bridges engineering, neuroscience, and clinical practice, offering new pathways for personalized, timing-sensitive interventions. His work has been presented at major neurology conferences and continues to influence the design of adaptive rehabilitation technologies. For students and researchers, McGehrin exemplifies how targeted, mechanism-driven studies can reshape our understanding of recovery and inspire next-generation therapies for motor impairment.
