About
Marcus Pohl is a prominent rehabilitation researcher whose work has profoundly shaped our understanding of technology-assisted recovery following neurological injury. His scholarship centers on electromechanical and robot-assisted rehabilitation, with a particular focus on stroke recovery and spinal cord injury. Over the course of more than a decade, Pohl has led and contributed to a series of landmark Cochrane systematic reviews examining the effectiveness of robotic devices for restoring arm function, activities of daily living, and walking capacity in stroke survivors — iteratively updating the evidence base as the field evolved. His 2015 review on robot-assisted arm training has garnered over 680 citations, while his work on electromechanical-assisted gait training has accumulated nearly 570 citations, reflecting their status as foundational references in neurorehabilitation. Pohl's 2020 network meta-analysis further distinguished the relative effectiveness of specific robotic arm training devices, offering clinicians more nuanced guidance for treatment selection. His investigation into locomotor training for spinal cord injury, with over 200 citations, demonstrates the breadth of his contributions. Collectively, his body of work has accumulated well over 2,900 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in evidence-based rehabilitation science.
