About
J. Holmberg is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and rehabilitation engineering, specializing in wearable soft-robotic technologies to restore hand function in older adults and stroke survivors. Their major contributions center on developing and clinically evaluating the ironHand glove—a soft-robotic device designed to support grip strength during daily activities and intensive task-specific training. Holmberg’s pilot randomized controlled trial (84 citations) demonstrated the feasibility of home-based rehabilitation using this glove, significantly improving hand function and independence. Their feasibility study (50 citations) confirmed user acceptance and assistive functionality, while subsequent work (32 citations) quantified gains in motor performance and functional outcomes. Holmberg’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, showing that prolonged use of soft-robotic gloves can enhance quality of life post-stroke and in aging populations. With over 200 cumulative citations, their work has laid the foundation for accessible, wearable assistive technologies that empower individuals to perform activities of daily living independently, reducing reliance on personal care. Holmberg’s innovative approach to combining robotics with home rehabilitation represents a paradigm shift in geriatric and neurorehabilitation.
