About
Emily Koh is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing accessible technologies for post-stroke motor recovery. Her work centers on the design and evaluation of portable robotic systems that enable unsupervised therapy, particularly for hand function—a critical area where traditional clinical therapy is often limited by cost and access. Her most cited paper, "Design, characterization and preliminary usability testing of a portable robot for unsupervised therapy of hand function" (2023), introduces a novel device that can be used independently by patients in the clinic or at home, significantly increasing therapy dose without the need for constant therapist supervision. This work has already garnered 7 citations, reflecting its timely relevance in the field of neurorehabilitation. Koh’s contributions are notable for bridging engineering design with real-world usability testing, ensuring that her robotic solutions are not only technically sound but also practical for patient use. By addressing the critical barrier of therapy dose, her research holds promise for improving recovery outcomes and empowering patients to take an active role in their rehabilitation journey.
