About
Abigail R. Citterman’s research sits at the vital intersection of rehabilitation engineering and accessible prosthetic design, with a primary focus on advancing myoelectric control for individuals with upper-limb loss. Her most-cited work, "A Multi-User Transradial Functional-Test Socket for Validation of New Myoelectric Prosthetic Control Strategies" (2022), tackles a critical bottleneck in the field: the prohibitive time and cost of custom-fabricated sockets that stifle iterative validation. By engineering a multi-user, adjustable test socket, Citterman provides a practical, scalable platform that enables researchers to bypass reliance on virtual reality or robotic arms for initial testing, accelerating the translation of novel control strategies from lab to clinical reality. This contribution is foundational for democratizing prosthetic research, allowing more teams to rigorously evaluate algorithms with real-world, physical interfaces. With 6 citations on this key paper, her work is gaining traction as a pragmatic solution to a persistent methodological hurdle. Citterman’s achievements reflect a deep commitment to bridging engineering innovation with tangible user benefit, positioning her as a rising voice in the quest for more functional, accessible, and rapidly deployable upper-limb prosthetics.
