About

Dr. J. Cinkelj is a researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing haptic interfaces for neurorehabilitation. Their most cited work, "HARMiS - Hand and arm rehabilitation system" (2008, 7 citations), introduces a pioneering device designed for robot-aided therapy. The HARMiS system uniquely combines a haptic interface to enable patients to practice reaching, grasping, and transporting virtual objects, directly targeting motor recovery after neurological injury. This contribution is notable for integrating haptic feedback with functional training tasks, bridging the gap between robotic assistance and immersive therapeutic exercises. While the citation count reflects the niche nature of this specialized engineering work, the HARMiS project stands as a foundational effort in accessible, task-oriented rehabilitation technology. Dr. Cinkelj’s research underscores a commitment to practical, patient-centered solutions in assistive robotics, offering a tangible tool for clinicians and a platform for future innovations in sensorimotor rehabilitation.
