About
Marta Rey-Prieto is a rising leader in neurorehabilitation robotics, whose work focuses on restoring mobility after stroke through intelligent, adaptive exoskeletons. Her research lies at the intersection of biomechanics, control systems, and clinical neuroscience, with a core emphasis on developing robotic interventions that are both evidence-based and responsive to individual patient needs. In her highly cited 2023 study (23 citations), she demonstrated how a knee exoskeleton can be systematically tuned to deliver adapted assistance and resistance training over two weeks, providing rigorous performance evidence for robotic gait therapy. Complementing this, her feasibility study (14 citations) pioneered the use of wearable inertial sensors for real-time gait monitoring, enabling the design of adaptive controllers that adjust exoskeleton parameters based on spatiotemporal metrics—a significant step beyond static control strategies. By bridging the gap between sensor-driven feedback and robotic assistance, Rey-Prieto is advancing personalized rehabilitation protocols that could transform post-stroke recovery. Her work not only addresses the critical challenge of control parameter tuning but also lays the groundwork for more autonomous, user-responsive rehabilitation technologies, marking her as a key innovator in the field.
