About

Masha Kocherginsky is a biostatistician whose work bridges clinical trials, rehabilitation engineering, and surgical oncology. Her research focuses on the design and analysis of studies evaluating novel interventions, particularly in stroke rehabilitation and cancer treatment. In a landmark randomized trial, she helped demonstrate that stride management assist exoskeleton training improves gait velocity and cortical excitability in chronic stroke survivors more effectively than functional gait training—a finding with over 97 citations that has influenced neurorehabilitation protocols. Kocherginsky also contributed to a pivotal comparative effectiveness study of surgical approaches for stage IB1 cervical cancer, analyzing outcomes and costs of open, robotic, and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. That work, cited 41 times, provided critical evidence on perioperative complications and survival implications. Her methodological expertise ensures rigorous evaluation of complex interventions, from robotic exoskeletons to minimally invasive surgeries. With a career marked by high-impact collaborations, Kocherginsky’s statistical insights have shaped evidence-based practice in both neurology and gynecologic oncology, making her a key figure in translating clinical data into actionable treatment guidelines.
