Gail F. Forrest is an associate director of Human Performance and Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation and an associate professor in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at New Jersey Medical School.[1] She has also conducted more than 20 federal, state, and national clinical trials for patients with spinal cord injury.[2] She is also part of the research team winning the Neuromod Prize in 2022 for new collaborative work on the development of neuromodulation therapies.[3]
Education
Gail Forrest received a Ph.D in biomechanics. from Temple University in 2001.[2][1]
Career
As a postdoctoral fellow at Kessler Foundation Research Center in 2002, Forrest received a grant funding by the New Jersey Commission on Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Research to evaluate independent walking after incomplete spinal cord injury through body weight support treadmill training.[2][4]
Forrest received state and federal funded grants to research on neuroplasticity, improvement in secondary consequences and restoration of function for individuals after SCI.[2] She has published extensively in the area of neuroplasticity and the use of exoskeleton on posture and walking after SCI.[5][6]
Forrest also collaborates with the Victory over Paralysis organization as part of the Epidural Simulation Program.[7]
Awards and funding
Forrest is part of the team that won the Neuromod Prize in 2022 for a proposal that presents a pathway for greater independence for people paralysed with spinal cord injury. This is a collaborative project including research teams from the Kessler Foundation, the University of Louisville, Medtronic, and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab.[8]
She also received major funding from the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation for her ongoing study titled “Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation: Addressing Spasticity and Motor Function.”[9]
