About

Robert Fieo is a rehabilitation scientist whose work bridges psychometrics and motor recovery, with a focus on improving assessment tools for stroke survivors. His research centers on the rigorous evaluation of clinical measures, ensuring they are both reliable and valid for capturing upper-limb function after neurological injury. His most cited paper, a psychometric evaluation of the Arm Motor Ability Test (AMAT-9), exemplifies this commitment—demonstrating how a shortened, 9-item version can effectively assess motor impairment in community-dwelling stroke patients. This work, drawing on data from 32 individuals undergoing robotics treatment, has garnered 20 citations and underscores the importance of precise measurement in rehabilitation trials. Beyond this, Fieo’s contributions extend to refining outcome measures that inform clinical decision-making and enhance the interpretability of treatment effects. His impact lies in advancing the methodological rigor of rehabilitation research, ensuring that tools like the AMAT-9 are not only practical but psychometrically sound. For students and researchers, Fieo’s work offers a model of how careful measurement can drive meaningful progress in neurorehabilitation.
