Mark Andrew Wright

About

Mark Andrew Wright is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, assistive robotics, and digital health, with a primary focus on restoring function after spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke. His most impactful work includes a landmark multicentric investigation on the ABLE lower-limb robotic exoskeleton for individuals with SCI, which established a critical framework for standardizing clinical evaluations of safety, feasibility, and usability—a study that has garnered 21 citations for addressing the field's notorious variability. Wright has also contributed to a comprehensive review of advances in traumatic SCI therapies, highlighting neuroprotective strategies and regenerative challenges. More recently, he is pioneering the application of digital twins in stroke rehabilitation, exploring how data from rehabilitation robots can be leveraged to create personalized, simulation-driven treatment models. His work bridges engineering and clinical practice, aiming to translate robotic and digital innovations into tangible recovery outcomes. With a growing citation record and a focus on standardization and personalization, Wright is shaping the future of evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
