About

Naoya Tojo is a researcher at the forefront of biomechanics and rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on understanding and restoring human motor function. His work bridges fundamental biomechanical analysis and applied haptic technology. Tojo’s key contributions include a novel method for estimating antagonistic output ratios in human limbs, which allows for the detailed assessment of muscular strength by calculating the joint torque generated by specific muscle groups. This foundational work, published in 2016, has garnered 5 citations and provides critical insights for personalized rehabilitation. More recently, in 2024, Tojo has explored the use of kinesthetic haptic technology for post-stroke rehabilitation, developing prototype applications to help patients regain motor skills after hemiplegia. This applied research, with 2 citations, demonstrates his commitment to translating biomechanical principles into practical therapeutic tools. By combining rigorous analysis of muscular force distribution with innovative robotic interfaces, Tojo is advancing both the science of human movement and the technology that can restore it, making his work highly relevant for students and researchers in rehabilitation engineering and human-robot interaction.
