About

G Sandali Upeka is a researcher at the intersection of robotics and rehabilitation medicine, with a primary focus on developing assistive technologies for physical therapy. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering work on "Hand Rehabilitation Using Robot-Assisted Physiotherapy" (2020), which addresses a critical gap in existing physiotherapy robots by introducing interactive exercise features that enhance patient engagement and recovery outcomes. This research has garnered 2 citations and represents an important step toward integrating intelligent robotic systems into clinical rehabilitation settings. Upeka's work is particularly significant for its emphasis on patient-centered design, aiming to improve the quality of care for individuals recovering from hand injuries or neurological conditions. By combining robotics technology with therapeutic principles, she is helping to shape the future of automated physiotherapy, making rehabilitation more accessible, consistent, and effective. Her contributions are especially valuable for students and researchers interested in medical robotics, human-robot interaction, and the practical application of engineering solutions to healthcare challenges.
