About
G.B. Prange is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, with a focus on restoring arm and hand function after stroke. Their work centers on developing and evaluating robotic and wearable assistive technologies—such as hand/wrist exoskeletons and soft-robotic gloves—to support home-based rehabilitation and daily living activities. A key contribution is the systematic investigation of gravity compensation, showing how supporting the weight of the hemiparetic arm can increase active range of motion, reduce abnormal muscle co-activation, and facilitate more natural movement patterns. Their studies, including the influential SCRIPT project (105 citations) and foundational work on muscle activation during arm movements (101 citations), have provided quantitative evidence for how robotic support can enhance motor control and functional recovery. Prange also pioneered user-centred design approaches, gathering end-user requirements to ensure assistive devices meet real-world needs and reduce abandonment. By combining rigorous biomechanical analysis with practical device development, their research bridges the gap between rehabilitation science and accessible technology, offering concrete pathways to improve independence and quality of life for stroke survivors.
