About

Elizabeth G. Condliffe is a leading researcher at the intersection of pediatric neurorehabilitation and advanced neurophysiology, with a primary focus on improving mobility and motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Her work is distinguished by pioneering the use of robotic exoskeletons for gait training in non-ambulatory children, as demonstrated in her highly cited case study (30 citations) and subsequent cohort studies, which have shown that home and community-based robotic walkers can provide meaningful, real-world impacts on mobility. Dr. Condliffe has also made foundational contributions to the methodology of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), notably establishing the short- and long-term reliability of robotic neuro-navigated TMS motor mapping (21 citations) and clarifying the differences between active and resting-state maps (12 citations). Her research uniquely combines these tools—robotic rehabilitation and TMS—to both treat and measure neuroplasticity, as seen in her pilot trial combining robotic therapy with transcranial direct current stimulation. With a growing body of work that directly translates engineering into clinical practice, Dr. Condliffe is shaping how we assess and intervene in pediatric motor disorders.
