About

Najib M. Rahman is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on developing robotic technologies to restore upper-limb function after stroke. His most influential work centers on the SCRIPT project, where he led the design, development, and deployment of a hand/wrist exoskeleton for home-based rehabilitation. This seminal 2014 paper, which has garnered over 105 citations, demonstrated how robotic devices can be translated from clinical settings into practical, patient-driven home environments—a critical step for scalable, long-term therapy. Rahman’s contributions lie in bridging the gap between complex robotic systems and real-world usability, ensuring that devices are not only effective but also accessible for daily use. Beyond stroke rehabilitation, his research extends into thoracic oncology, as evidenced by his contributions to the European Respiratory Society’s Thoracic Oncology Assembly, where he helps synthesize cutting-edge findings on lung cancer management. By combining rigorous engineering design with a deep understanding of clinical needs, Rahman’s work has shaped how robotic rehabilitation is delivered, offering new hope for patients recovering from neurological injury.
