About

Molly Trammell is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on advancing mobility recovery for individuals with neurological injuries, particularly spinal cord injury and stroke. Her primary research areas include overground robotic exoskeleton gait training, inpatient rehabilitation protocols, and intensity-based therapeutic interventions for motor-complete tetraplegia. Trammell’s major contribution lies in generating real-world clinical evidence to guide the use of robotic exoskeletons during inpatient rehabilitation—a rapidly growing field lacking standardized protocols. Her most-cited paper (2020, 25 citations) retrospectively analyzed clinical characteristics and outcomes of robotic exoskeleton gait training in people with spinal cord injury and stroke, providing foundational data for future guidelines. A notable case series (2023, 3 citations) further explored training intensity in two individuals with motor-complete tetraplegia, demonstrating the potential for high-intensity robotic therapy even in severe injuries. Trammell’s work bridges the gap between emerging technology and clinical practice, offering actionable insights for rehabilitation teams. Her research is particularly valuable for clinicians and students seeking evidence-based approaches to integrating robotic exoskeletons into inpatient care, with implications for improving functional outcomes and quality of life in neurorehabilitation.
