About

Tine Ramon is a rehabilitation scientist whose research focuses on the intersection of patient-centered care, assistive technology, and motor recovery in neurorehabilitation. Her most cited work, "Motivation, expectations, and usability of a driven gait orthosis in stroke patients and their therapists" (2016, 38 citations), represents a pivotal contribution to the field of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). In this study, Ramon systematically investigated the perspectives of both stroke survivors and their therapists regarding the use of driven gait orthoses, revealing critical insights into how motivation, expectations, and perceived usability influence the adoption and effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation tools. By centering the voices of end-users, Ramon’s research challenges the purely technical focus of early rehabilitation robotics, arguing that successful clinical outcomes depend as much on human factors as on engineering precision. Her work has helped shape a more holistic approach to neurorehabilitation, emphasizing the need to align technological design with patient and therapist experiences. Through this and related studies, Ramon has established herself as a key advocate for participatory design in rehabilitation technology, ensuring that innovation serves real-world clinical needs.
