About
Dr. Stella Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on locomotor recovery and robotic-assisted gait training for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her work directly addresses the critical gap in evidence-based gait therapy for this population, moving beyond traditional, labor-intensive methods. Dr. Lee’s major contributions include pioneering comparative studies of robotic versus manually assisted therapies. Her seminal 2017 paper, “A Comparison of Locomotor Therapy Interventions,” which has garnered 71 citations, systematically evaluated the efficacy of partial-body weight-supported treadmill training, the Lokomat, and G-EO systems, providing crucial data on the benefits of robotic assistance for improving training capacity. This built upon her earlier 2012 randomized study (64 citations) comparing robotic-assisted and manually assisted treadmill training, which established foundational evidence for the impact of robotic systems on walking symmetry and endurance. Beyond gait, Dr. Lee has also explored the use of robotics for objective assessment, as seen in her work using the AMADEO device to quantify finger spasticity. Her research is instrumental in shaping modern, technology-driven rehabilitation protocols, offering clinicians and patients more effective, data-informed pathways to recovery.
