Ahlam Salameh

Ahlam Salameh is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Case School of Engineering and an Adjunct Instructor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the School of Medicine, both at Case Western Reserve University. She is also an Investigator at the Cleveland FES Center. Her research focuses on two key areas: exploring the therapeutic impact of myoelectrically controlled arm orthoses in acute stroke rehabilitation and investigating neuroplastic mechanisms underlying upper limb motor control recovery post-stroke.

Her work integrates neuroengineering techniques with clinical applications, particularly in stroke rehabilitation and motor function restoration. Key research tools include transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), virtual reality-assisted therapy, and functional connectivity analysis. She has contributed to studies on intracellular pH regulation in neurons and red blood cell physiology, reflecting a broad expertise in neurophysiology and cell biology.

Dr. Salameh’s publications highlight advancements in gait rehabilitation protocols, stroke recovery mechanisms, and the application of neurotechnology in clinical settings. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and clinical medicine, addressing critical challenges in motor deficit recovery and neuroplasticity modulation.
