About
Dr. Michelle L. Starkey is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the use of robotic technologies to restore mobility after neuromotor disorders, particularly spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work bridges engineering and clinical science to develop innovative assessment and training tools. Her most impactful contribution is the design of a versatile robotic interface for evaluating, enabling, and training locomotion and balance, a foundational study cited over 100 times. Dr. Starkey has also advanced upper limb rehabilitation, demonstrating the reliability of robotic assessments for movement workspace in SCI patients and exploring both technological and clinical approaches to recovery. Her research emphasizes objective, technology-driven evaluations that can be integrated into therapy, improving outcomes for individuals with cervical SCI. With a career spanning over a decade, Dr. Starkey’s work continues to shape how clinicians use robotics to assess and treat neuromotor impairments, making her a key figure in the field of rehabilitation engineering.
