About
Marisa A. King is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on leveraging innovative technologies to improve functional outcomes for individuals with acute stroke. Her primary research areas include gait training, neurorehabilitation, and the clinical application of robotic exoskeletons. King’s most notable contribution is her investigation into how robotic exoskeletons can facilitate mass practice of task-specific stepping activities during inpatient rehabilitation. Her work demonstrates that this technology not only enhances gait retraining but also significantly influences discharge destinations, enabling more patients to return home rather than requiring institutional care. Her seminal paper on this topic, presented at the American Heart Association’s International Stroke Conference, has garnered attention with 5 citations, establishing a foundation for integrating robotics into standard stroke rehabilitation protocols. King’s research bridges the gap between cutting-edge engineering and bedside clinical practice, offering evidence that high-intensity, repetitive training through exoskeletons can reshape recovery trajectories. For students and clinicians alike, her work underscores the transformative potential of technology-driven rehabilitation in maximizing patient independence and quality of life after neurological injury.
