About

Aleksandra Kiper is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring motor function in post-stroke patients through innovative robotic and biofeedback technologies. Her work centers on the intersection of rehabilitation engineering and clinical neuroscience, particularly in addressing upper limb hemiparesis. In her highly cited pilot study, "The effect of robot therapy assisted by surface EMG on hand recovery in post-stroke patients," Kiper demonstrated that combining robotic-assisted therapy with surface electromyography (sEMG) significantly enhances hand recovery by maximizing neural stimuli to promote brain neuroplasticity. This foundational research, which has garnered 7 citations, established a critical framework for integrating real-time muscle activity feedback into robotic rehabilitation protocols. Kiper’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between engineering innovation and practical clinical application, offering a data-driven pathway to improve motor outcomes in stroke survivors. Her work continues to influence the design of more adaptive, patient-responsive rehabilitation systems, making her a key figure in the advancement of technology-assisted neurorecovery.
