About

Ileana Ciobanu’s research lies at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, biomechanics, and assistive robotics, with a focus on improving mobility and functional outcomes for individuals with neurological and musculoskeletal impairments. Her major contributions include a comprehensive overview of biomechanics, actuation, and multi-level control strategies for power-augmentation lower extremity exoskeletons, a work that has garnered 40 citations and serves as a foundational reference for researchers developing wearable robotic systems. She has also advanced clinical assessment methodologies, notably through a pilot study on technologically-advanced assessment of upper-limb spasticity (20 citations), which integrates objective measurement tools into rehabilitation practice. More recently, Ciobanu led a systematic review assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0), a study with 29 citations that underscores her commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered outcomes. Her work bridges engineering innovation and clinical application, making her a notable figure in the field of rehabilitation technology.
