About

Taryn Klarner is a leading researcher in the fields of human locomotion, motor control, and neurorehabilitation. Her work focuses on understanding how the nervous system coordinates muscle activity during walking, particularly in the context of injury and recovery. Klarner’s most cited study, “Patterns of muscle coordination vary with stride frequency during weight assisted treadmill walking” (2010, 36 citations), revealed critical insights into how the central nervous system adapts muscle activation patterns in response to changes in walking speed and body weight support—a foundational finding for designing more effective gait rehabilitation protocols. More recently, in her forward-looking work “Pushing the Limits of Interlimb Connectivity: Neuromodulation and Beyond” (2025), she explores cutting-edge neuromodulation techniques to enhance interlimb coordination after neural injury. Klarner’s research directly addresses the devastating loss of walking ability following spinal cord injury or stroke, aiming to reduce secondary complications and improve quality of life. Her contributions are shaping the next generation of rehabilitation interventions, moving beyond traditional treadmill training toward more adaptive, neurotechnology-driven approaches that restore functional mobility.
