About

Eduardo Carrasco’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, neurorehabilitation, and assistive technology, with a focus on restoring upper limb function for patients with nervous system injuries such as stroke and spinal cord injury. His key contributions include developing inverse kinematics methods for accurate joint angle estimation in exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation—critical for assessing patient progress and guiding therapy. This work, published in his most-cited paper (17 citations), addresses a core challenge in robot-assisted rehabilitation (RAR): achieving precise, economical movement estimation without invasive sensors. Carrasco also played a leading role in the HYPER project, an advanced hybrid neurorehabilitation system that integrates robotic and electrical stimulation technologies (11 citations). His research extends to teletherapy, where he has explored virtual arm representations and multimodal monitoring to enable remote, accessible rehabilitation. By combining engineering innovation with clinical needs, Carrasco’s work directly supports the sustainability of healthcare systems and improves quality of life for patients, therapists, and caregivers. His contributions are foundational for the next generation of intelligent, patient-centered rehabilitation technologies.
