About
Dr. Rachel Skoss is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on developing innovative therapies for motor recovery after stroke. Her key research areas include sensorimotor integration, assistive technology, and the remediation of chronic motor deficits. Dr. Skoss is best known for her groundbreaking work on the Assisted Movement with Enhanced Sensation (AMES) protocol, a novel therapeutic approach that couples motor assistance with enhanced sensory feedback to reduce paresis in chronic stroke patients. Her most-cited paper, "Assisted Movement With Enhanced Sensation (AMES): Coupling Motor and Sensory to Remediate Motor Deficits in Chronic Stroke Patients" (2008, 113 citations), reports the results of a phase I clinical trial demonstrating the potential of this method to improve motor function even in severely impaired individuals. This work has been highly influential, shaping subsequent research into sensory-motor coupling and rehabilitation robotics. Dr. Skoss’s contributions are notable for challenging conventional rehabilitation paradigms and offering new hope for patients with long-standing motor deficits. Her research continues to inspire advancements in neurorehabilitation and assistive device design.
