About
Dr. M. Abdelbar is a pioneering researcher in neuromuscular rehabilitation engineering and assistive robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent, adaptive systems for individuals with limb impairments. Their work bridges mechatronics, biomechanics, and control theory to create next-generation exoskeletons and prostheses. In their highly cited 2022 paper, "Towards the Mechatronic Development of a New Upper-Limb Exoskeleton (SAMA)," Dr. Abdelbar addresses the interdisciplinary challenges of upper-body assistive devices, contributing to the evolution of modern rehabilitation technology. More recently, their 2024 case study introduces a groundbreaking hybrid controller for active ankle prostheses, integrating finite-state impedance control with an electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal model. This innovative approach solves the critical trade-off between adaptability for non-standard movements and repeatability for cyclic tasks, marking a significant advance in volitional control. With citations spanning these key works, Dr. Abdelbar’s research is shaping the future of human-robot interaction in rehabilitation, offering new possibilities for restoring mobility and improving quality of life.
