About

Nicole Prideaux is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in robotic gait therapy and cardiovascular exercise interventions for stroke survivors. Her work centers on optimizing locomotor recovery in subacute stroke patients through innovative, technology-driven approaches. Prideaux’s most impactful study, “Augmented Performance Feedback during Robotic Gait Therapy Results in Moderate Intensity Cardiovascular Exercise in Subacute Stroke” (2020, 17 citations), demonstrates how real-time feedback during robotic therapy can simultaneously improve gait mechanics and achieve moderate-intensity cardiovascular conditioning—a dual benefit that challenges traditional rehabilitation paradigms. This contribution bridges the gap between motor recovery and cardiovascular health, offering a more holistic framework for post-stroke care. Her exploratory research, “Towards a Clinical Decision-Making Algorithm Guiding Locomotor Therapy Modality in Subacute Stroke” (2021), further advances the field by proposing a data-driven algorithm to personalize therapy selection, aiming to enhance clinical efficiency and patient outcomes. Prideaux’s work is notable for its practical, patient-centered focus, integrating wearable sensors and biofeedback to transform rehabilitation protocols. With growing citation impact, her research is shaping how clinicians combine robotic assistance with cardiovascular training, making her a key voice in the future of stroke rehabilitation.
