Roland C. Starr, MS

Senior Rehabilitation Scientist, Rehabilitation Engineer
Sinai Rehabilitation Center, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore
Baltimore, MD, United States

Roland Starr completed his master’s degree in applied math at the University of Minnesota and continued in the engineering department, studying robotics and control systems. When the opportunity arose, he began working at Gillette Children’s Hospital in St. Paul to build their first gait lab. The gait lab measured children with walking disorders, in particular cerebral palsy and spina bifida. During this time, Roland was fortunate to work with Dr. Steven Koop, Tom Novacheck and Jim Gage, providing them with information to plan and fine tune their surgeries to treat the children. After Gillette, Roland moved his family to Melbourne Australia to work with Professor Kerr Graham at the Royal Children’s Hospital. Roland managed the gait lab for four years, branching out into research as well as providing the clinical data to the surgeons. Upon his return to the US, Roland managed the gait lab at AI duPont Hospital for a year. He was recruited to work in the gait lab at Sinai Hospital. While at Sinai, he has expanded the lab duties from providing clinical measurements, to include providing research data and incorporating 3D printing into patient treatment. The 3D printing program has grown to include designing tools for clinicians to treat patients more effectively and providing patients with pro bono tools to help them in their daily living outside the hospital setting.
