About

Serena Goldlist is a researcher dedicated to understanding sensorimotor dysfunction in neurological populations, with a particular focus on multiple sclerosis (MS). Her work centers on proprioception—the body’s ability to sense its own position and movement—and how its impairment affects daily function. In her most cited paper, "Assessing proprioceptive acuity in people with multiple sclerosis" (2022), Goldlist pioneered a comprehensive examination of proprioceptively guided reaching in individuals with MS, distinguishing between those who self-report upper limb impairment and those who do not. This work revealed subtle but critical deficits in proprioceptive acuity that standard clinical assessments often miss, providing a foundation for more targeted rehabilitation strategies. With 4 citations, this study has already informed subsequent research on sensory feedback and motor control in MS. Goldlist’s contributions bridge a gap between subjective symptom reporting and objective sensorimotor measurement, offering clinicians new tools to evaluate and treat upper limb dysfunction. Her research is particularly notable for its methodological rigor and its potential to improve quality of life for people living with MS, making her a rising voice in the field of neurological rehabilitation.
