About

Dr. Rebecca Wallace is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, with a primary focus on the objective assessment and management of spasticity following neurological injury. Her most cited work, a 2022 systematic review on technology-assisted spasticity assessment, has garnered 34 citations and critically evaluated emerging tools that promise to replace subjective clinical scales with quantifiable, biomechanical measures. This contribution is foundational for standardizing spasticity evaluation, directly impacting treatment planning for stroke survivors and individuals with multiple sclerosis. Dr. Wallace’s research bridges the gap between engineering and clinical practice, developing wearable sensors and robotic devices to capture muscle tone and reflex responses with precision. Her work not only advances diagnostic accuracy but also informs personalized rehabilitation protocols. By championing technology-driven assessment, she is shaping the future of evidence-based neurorehabilitation, making her a key voice in translating engineering innovations into tangible patient outcomes.
