About

Narimah Daud is a researcher advancing the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent, adaptive systems for post-stroke therapy. Her work centers on integrating clinical assessment tools with robotic control to create more responsive and effective upper extremity training platforms. A key contribution is the development of a Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)-integrated adaptive impedance control framework, which dynamically adjusts robotic assistance based on a patient’s muscle spasticity level, addressing the monotony and imbalance of conventional systems. She also pioneered a clasp-knife model of muscle spasticity to simulate realistic robot-human interactions, enabling safer and more accurate rehabilitation simulations. Her research extends to the automatic control of the WRist-T device, a wrist rehabilitation tool designed to alleviate time-consuming, long-waiting physiotherapy services in Malaysia. While her citation counts are modest, her work represents foundational steps toward personalized, automated therapy. Daud’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging clinical assessment scales with engineering design, offering a pathway to more efficient, patient-centered rehabilitation technologies.
