About
Dr. Natasha Bear is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation, with a primary focus on improving mobility outcomes for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Her most cited work, a 2020 study on locomotor and robotic assistive gait training for children with cerebral palsy (CP), has garnered 45 citations and represents a significant contribution to the field. In this pivotal study, Dr. Bear investigated whether combining robotic assisted gait training (RAGT) with surface muscle electrical stimulation enhances mobility more than locomotor training alone. Her rigorous methodology, involving 40 children with CP, provided critical evidence on the comparative effectiveness of these interventions. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Bear’s research spans assistive technologies, motor control, and evidence-based rehabilitation strategies. Her work is widely recognized for bridging engineering and clinical practice, directly informing therapeutic protocols for pediatric populations. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Bear continues to shape how clinicians approach gait rehabilitation, making her a vital voice in advancing accessible, technology-driven care for children with physical disabilities.
