About
Eike Jakubowitz is a leading researcher in the field of neurorehabilitation and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on restoring upper limb function in individuals with neurological impairments or amputations. His work centers on understanding the neuroscientific mechanisms of human motor control and translating these insights into advanced prosthetic and rehabilitation solutions. A key contribution is the development of the "U-Limb" database, a multi-modal resource that captures arm motion control data from both healthy individuals and post-stroke patients, providing a critical foundation for quantitative assessment and personalized rehabilitation (41 citations). Jakubowitz has also pioneered the integration of tactile feedback in upper limb prosthetics, demonstrating in a pilot study with trans-radial amputees how different haptic modalities can significantly improve user acceptance and functional performance (9 citations). Furthermore, he contributed to the SoftPro project, which promotes open-source, synergy-based technologies for prosthetics and rehabilitation. Through his innovative, data-driven approach, Jakubowitz is actively bridging the gap between human physiology and technology, aiming to reduce device abandonment and enhance the quality of life for individuals with motor impairments.
