About
Soha Saleh is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in the integration of robotics and virtual reality (VR) to restore motor function after neurological injury. Her seminal work on the New Jersey Institute of Technology Robot-Assisted Virtual Rehabilitation (NJIT-RAVR) system has been foundational, demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of combining adaptive robotics with immersive VR for children with cerebral palsy and adults with stroke. Her most cited paper (101 citations) established this system’s potential to enhance upper extremity function through increased attention and training stimulus. Saleh’s research further explores the neural mechanisms underlying recovery, using fMRI to reveal patterns of brain reorganization after robot-assisted VR therapy—a key contribution published in 2017 (56 citations). She has also investigated lower extremity exoskeletons for overground ambulation recovery, broadening her impact. With over 470 total citations across her top ten papers, Saleh’s work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, providing evidence-based, customizable rehabilitation tools that improve motor outcomes and quality of life for patients with hemiparesis. Her innovative, patient-centered approach continues to shape the future of neurorehabilitation.
