About

Shamali Dusane is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on restoring mobility and improving gait function in individuals with neurological injuries, particularly stroke and spinal cord injury. Her research centers on robotic-assisted rehabilitation and innovative locomotor training strategies. In a notable 2021 case series, Dusane demonstrated the potential of robotic-assisted ankle training to improve gait outcomes in stroke survivors, providing early evidence for technology-driven neurorehabilitation. Her most impactful work includes the AGILE SCI trial protocol (2024), which introduces a novel intervention that amplifies gait errors to enhance walking balance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. This assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial addresses a critical gap in balance rehabilitation, targeting a primary factor limiting community ambulation. With a growing citation record, Dusane’s contributions are shaping evidence-based approaches to locomotor recovery. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable solutions for sensorimotor disorders. By prioritizing rigorous trial design and patient-centered outcomes, she is advancing the field of neurorehabilitation and inspiring future research into technology-assisted gait training.
