About

Meg E. Morris is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and gerontechnology, whose work bridges movement disorders, aging, and assistive robotics. Her major contributions focus on evaluating complementary physical therapies for Parkinson’s disease (PD), demonstrating that interventions targeting wellbeing, enjoyment, and social participation can fill critical gaps left by conventional exercise—a systematic review on this topic has garnered 85 citations. She has also pioneered research on robotics to enable older adults to age in place, with a highly cited 2012 systematic review (70 citations) critically evaluating robotic applications in aged care. Morris extended her impact to rare conditions like Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, authoring the first systematic review on exercise for this population (25 citations), and she champions sustainability in robotics through an accessible, upcycled platform that reduces environmental waste. Her work is notable for its translational focus—combining rigorous evidence synthesis with practical, person-centered solutions—and for advancing inclusive, eco-friendly technologies. With a career spanning physiotherapy, neuroscience, and engineering, Morris’s research has shaped clinical guidelines and inspired new directions in rehabilitation robotics.
