Alexandra Borstad

Alexandra Borstad's research focuses on rehabilitation after stroke, particularly recovery of arm movement, touch sensation (kinesthesia), and walking ability. Her work examines therapies such as constraint-induced movement therapy (forcing use of the weaker limb), aerobic exercise, and gamified home-based rehabilitation, often testing how these approaches affect long-term physical function and quality of life in stroke survivors. She also studies methods for measuring sensory and motor impairments and approaches to prevent mobility decline in older adults.

Publication output was highest between 2017 and 2020 (3-5 papers per year) and has slowed somewhat in recent years, averaging about 1.6 papers per year over the last five years.
