Robert S. Gailey

Robert S. Gailey Jr. (born 1957) is an American physical therapist, professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Department of Physical Therapy, and the Director of the Neil Spielholz Functional Outcomes Research & Evaluation Center. His research efforts include amputee rehabilitation, prosthetic gait, and functional assessment.[1][2]

He developed the Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP), an outcome measure designed to evaluate the ambulatory potential of lower-limb amputees with and without the use of a prosthesis.[3]

In 2002, he was appointed as a Special Advisor to the United States Department of Defense for amputee rehabilitation.[4] In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, he served as the rehabilitation coordinator for Project Medishare.[5]
