READING ROUTES

A way into the research.

Choose a question that interests you. These starting points connect methods to the people and tasks they are intended to support.

Accessible interfaces

Start with: Assisted grasping through residual muscle contraction and movement (2019).

Then explore: A residual-movement classification interface (2022).

Questions to bring: How is a command represented? What calibration is required? What does the evaluation tell us about a new user or a later session?

Project context

Rehabilitation activity

Start with: Cycling with spinal cord injury and preparation for Cybathlon (2017).

Then explore: Design considerations for FES-assisted transfer (2018).

Questions to bring: What is measured? What does the controller act on? Which aspects of performance depend on the task or participant?

Project context

Assessment and learning

Start with: Sensor-derived measures in non-specific neck pain (2025).

Then explore: AI-driven stroke rehabilitation through the lens of human motor learning (2026).

Questions to bring: What makes a measure clinically meaningful? How does immediate task performance differ from learning or retention? What evidence would be needed for translation beyond the study?
