About

Morgan L. Ingemanson is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in stroke recovery, robotic therapy, and sensorimotor integration. Her work focuses on understanding how robotic assistance can enhance motor learning and proprioceptive feedback after neurological injury. Ingemanson’s most impactful contribution is her 2017 randomized controlled trial (124 citations), which demonstrated that robotic training based on a Hebbian model can improve finger movement, challenging the notion that robotic assistance discourages effort. She further advanced the field by showing that somatosensory system integrity predicts treatment response (112 citations), highlighting the importance of personalized rehabilitation. Her studies on finger strength, individuation, and corticospinal tract injury (74 citations) have clarified the neural mechanisms underlying hand function deficits. Ingemanson also developed novel robotic devices to measure age-related decline in finger proprioception (48 citations), providing tools for assessing sensory loss. Her work has been recognized for bridging engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering evidence-based strategies for post-stroke motor recovery.
