About

Keisuke Kubota is a researcher in rehabilitation robotics, focusing on assistive technologies for stroke survivors with hemiplegia. His work centers on developing robotic systems that facilitate targeted, isolated movements for both upper and lower limb recovery. A key contribution is the creation of a robot-assisted training system for the tibialis anterior muscle, which induces eccentric contractions by simultaneously controlling strength and speed through position and force feedback—a novel approach to improving gait and preventing foot drop. Kubota has also engineered a portable home rehabilitation robot designed to enable high-frequency, isolated upper limb exercises, addressing the critical need for accessible, frequent therapy outside clinical settings. His research emphasizes practical, sensor-driven control to enhance motor recovery and quality of life for patients with complete paralysis on one side of the body. While his citation counts are currently modest (each paper cited 4–5 times), his work represents foundational steps in translating robotic precision into home-based neurorehabilitation, with potential for significant impact as the field grows.
