About
Dr. Maria-Teresa Manrique-Sancho is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and human-centered design. Her primary research areas focus on the development and evaluation of lower limb wearable robotic exoskeletons, with a particular emphasis on user involvement and device safety. Dr. Manrique-Sancho’s major contribution lies in systematically assessing how end-users—such as individuals with mobility impairments—are integrated into the design process of these assistive technologies. Her seminal work, "Assessing the Involvement of Users During Development of Lower Limb Wearable Robotic Exoskeletons: A Survey Study" (2020, 71 citations), provides critical insights into current user-centered design practices, highlighting a lack of standardized evaluation frameworks. This research has been instrumental in advocating for more rigorous, inclusive development protocols. Additionally, her 2019 study on current practices in user involvement, device safety, and outcome measures further underscores her commitment to improving device efficacy and user safety. Through her work, Dr. Manrique-Sancho is shaping a future where robotic exoskeletons are not only technologically advanced but also genuinely responsive to the needs of their users.
