About

Bernhard Graimann is a leading figure in the field of neurorobotics and rehabilitation engineering, whose work bridges the gap between advanced signal processing and practical clinical applications. His research primarily focuses on myoelectric control, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and wearable exoskeletal systems for restoring and augmenting human motor function. Graimann’s most impactful contribution is his work on "Toward higher-performance bionic limbs for wider clinical use," which has garnered 262 citations, reflecting its critical role in advancing prosthetic technology. He has also made significant strides in neurorehabilitation, as seen in his 2010 paper on myoelectric control (47 citations), which explores how electromyographic signals can decode neural intent for prosthetic and therapeutic devices. His investigations into mode switching for hand prostheses (41 citations) challenge assumptions about multifunctional control efficiency, while his work on non-invasive BCIs for assistive devices (29 citations) and the SPEXOR project for low back pain prevention (22 citations) showcase his versatility. Graimann’s contributions are not only theoretical but also practical, as demonstrated by his development of the RehaArm robot for stroke rehabilitation, underscoring his commitment to translating research into tangible patient benefits.
