About
Dr. S. Jayne Garland is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, whose research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying motor recovery after stroke and spinal cord injury. Her work uniquely bridges basic neuroscience and clinical application, particularly through the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and robotic interventions to enhance upper limb function. A key contribution is her demonstration that combining repetitive TMS with robot-assisted training can significantly improve wrist muscle activation and cortical excitability in chronic stroke survivors, as evidenced by her highly cited 2019 study (17 citations). This work has helped establish protocols for non-invasive brain stimulation as a viable adjunct to physical therapy. Beyond this, Dr. Garland has extensively investigated muscle fatigue, spasticity, and the role of sensory feedback in motor learning. Her impact is reflected in a robust citation record across dozens of publications, which have shaped rehabilitation strategies worldwide. She is also recognized for her mentorship and leadership in advancing evidence-based practice for neurological conditions.
