About
Dr. Moogeh Baharnoori is a leading researcher in multiple sclerosis (MS), with a focus on developing objective, technology-driven assessments of disability. Her work addresses a critical gap: the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), while the gold standard, is heavily biased toward mobility and often fails to capture upper limb and cognitive dysfunction. In her highly cited 2020 study, "The feasibility of assessing cognitive and motor function in multiple sclerosis patients using robotics," Dr. Baharnoori pioneered the use of robotic platforms to simultaneously quantify motor and cognitive deficits. This work, which has garnered 19 citations, demonstrates that robotic assessments can reliably detect subtle impairments that traditional clinical scales miss. By integrating robotics into MS evaluation, she is advancing precision medicine, enabling earlier detection of disability progression and more targeted rehabilitation. Her contributions are shaping a future where MS care is guided by objective, multidimensional data rather than subjective observation, directly improving patient outcomes and clinical trial sensitivity.
