About
Jen Alexander is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on stroke recovery and the development of assistive technologies for upper limb function. Her major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the effectiveness of dynamic hand orthoses (DHOs) for restoring hand and arm function in adults post-stroke. Her landmark 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis, which has garnered 11 citations, critically examined randomized controlled trials to determine how non-robotic DHOs can address the common impairment of active digital extension—a key barrier to functional rehabilitation. This work has provided a crucial evidence base for clinicians and engineers, bridging the gap between rehabilitation science and practical device design. Alexander’s research is distinguished by its rigorous methodological approach and its direct impact on clinical practice, offering new pathways for patients to regain independence. Her contributions are essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of biomechanics, neurology, and assistive technology.
