About
Rea Lehner is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on leveraging intelligent technology to transform stroke recovery and expand access to quality therapy. Her work addresses critical barriers in post-stroke care, particularly for upper limb sensorimotor recovery, by developing decentralized, technology-assisted solutions. Lehner’s major contributions include pioneering the use of digital biomarkers and remote platforms to enable continuous, data-driven rehabilitation outside traditional clinical settings. Her highly cited 2021 paper, “Neurorehabilitation From a Distance,” which has garnered 51 citations, was notably propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the urgent need for remote therapy models. This work has reshaped how rehabilitation professionals approach physical distancing without compromising patient outcomes. More recently, her 2023 study protocol for the TAILOR platform—a technology-assisted digital biomarker system—aims to revolutionize assessment and recovery monitoring for Asian stroke survivors, addressing a critical gap in diverse populations. With a growing citation impact, Lehner’s research is at the forefront of integrating intelligent systems into neurorehabilitation, promising more personalized, accessible, and effective recovery pathways for patients worldwide.
