About
Sarvenaz Mehrabi is a rising researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of global health equity and neurorehabilitation. Her primary research focus is on understanding and improving motor recovery after stroke, with a particular emphasis on upper extremity rehabilitation. Mehrabi’s most notable contribution is her systematic review comparing interventions used in randomized controlled trials for post-stroke upper extremity motor rehabilitation across high-income countries (HICs) and low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs). This work, published in 2024, is pioneering in its direct examination of disparities in clinical research and practice. By systematically identifying and contrasting the types of therapies studied in different economic contexts, she highlights significant gaps in the evidence base for stroke care in LMICs. While her citation count is still growing, the foundational nature of this review—which has already garnered 2 citations—positions her as a key voice in advocating for more inclusive and globally relevant rehabilitation research. Her work challenges the field to consider how socioeconomic factors shape both the design and applicability of clinical trials, making her a compelling figure for students interested in socially conscious, evidence-based rehabilitation science.
