Dr. Goksenoglu's research focuses on neurological rehabilitation (Parkinson's disease gait analysis, stroke recovery, spinal cord injury), musculoskeletal disorders (osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, myofascial pain), and geriatric rehabilitation. Her work frequently examines comorbidity patterns, functional outcomes, and innovative interventions like robotic gait training and kinesio taping, with particular attention to neuropathic pain assessment and vitamin D deficiency in neurological populations.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary rehabilitation research, especially in pain management across neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. Her studies demonstrate methodological rigor through randomized controlled trials and observational designs, contributing significantly to evidence-based practice in physical therapy.

Dr. Goksenoglu supervises graduate theses in rehabilitation science and collaborates with plastic surgery and neurology teams for complex rehabilitation cases. Her clinical work at Yeditepe University Hospital integrates research findings into patient care, particularly for spinal cord injury and Parkinson's disease management.
