This award supports the development of patient-specific robotic rehabilitation interventions for gait improvement in stroke survivors, integrating sensorimotor modeling and robotics to personalize therapy.
Description
The project aims to advance the science of therapeutic engineering for gait rehabilitation by developing patient-specific robotic interventions. It focuses on modeling sensorimotor mechanisms of gait to inform personalized therapies, particularly targeting propulsion and balance in stroke survivors. The research will utilize a sense-plan-act paradigm in robotics to create comprehensive models and develop optimized rehabilitation strategies.
