Personal profile
Research profile
My research area of interest is in the field of rehabilitation technologies used for supporting re-learning/recovering of lost motor functions after brain and spinal cord injury, with focus on gait, postural control, and upper-limb function.
Focus areas: functional electrical stimulation systems and rehabilitation robots to support gait rehabilitation and grasping of tetraplegic and hemiparetic patients, assistive technologies, assessment technologies, gaming technologies, and their combinations. Also, mechanisms that result on sensory-motor impairments and recovery after injury, including central pattern generators and neural plasticity.
