Robert S. Gailey

According to Scopus, as of August 2020, he has authored 57 peer reviewed publications and book chapters. His works have been cited 1389 times in 1044 documents.

He has also developed or modified several outcome measures of amputee mobility. In 2002, he published the Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP), designed to determine the mobility of lower-limb amputees. The measure can assess amputees with and without the use of a prosthesis, and assists with the Medicare Functional Classification Level (MFCL) assignment by clinicians. In 2013, he published the Comprehensive High-level Activity Mobility Predictor (CHAMP), a measure developed for the United States military to evaluate high-level mobility of people with lower limb amputations.

In 1986, Gailey joined the University of Miami Division of Physical Therapy as an associate professor. He received tenure in 2007.

Robert S. Gailey Jr., PT, PhD, FAPTA (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. 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. In 2002, he was appointed as a Special Advisor to the United States Department of Defense for amputee rehabilitation. In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, he served as the rehabilitation coordinator for Project Medishare.
