About
Jan Lieber is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the development of wearable assistive technologies for children with neurological hand impairments. Their work focuses on creating tailored, task-oriented solutions to improve independence and quality of life for young patients with conditions such as cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, and pediatric stroke. Lieber’s major contributions include the design of the PEXO, a pediatric whole-hand exoskeleton that supports grasping during intensive therapy, and a compliant wrist-stabilizing mechanism that enhances safety and adaptability in daily use. Their research also extends to clinical interventions, such as the Personalized Upper Limb Intensive Therapy (PULIT) program, which combines modified constraint-induced movement therapy with goal-directed training. With over 80 citations across their most-cited works, Lieber’s impact is evident in both engineering and clinical domains. Notably, their case study on a tailorable robotic hand orthosis deployed in a child’s home demonstrates a commitment to real-world, accessible solutions. Lieber’s work bridges robotics and pediatric rehabilitation, offering promising avenues for restoring hand function in young patients.
