About

Ariana Ponce-Bohórquez is a biomedical engineer focused on developing assistive technologies for rehabilitation, particularly for aging populations. Her primary research areas include exoskeleton design, upper limb rehabilitation robotics, and biomechatronic systems for osteoarthritis management. Her most notable contribution is the design of a 4-degree-of-freedom active upper limb exoskeleton tailored to rehabilitate osteoarthritis injuries in elderly patients, a work published in 2025. This project addresses a critical need in geriatric care by combining mechanical design with human-centered engineering to improve mobility and quality of life. While her citation count is currently modest (1 citation), her work represents an emerging contribution to rehabilitation robotics, with potential for significant impact as the technology matures. Ponce-Bohórquez’s research bridges mechanical engineering and clinical application, offering practical solutions for age-related musculoskeletal disorders. Her efforts highlight the growing importance of accessible, adaptive exoskeletons in physical therapy, positioning her as a promising early-career researcher in assistive robotics and rehabilitation engineering.
