About

Nasrin Nasr is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in the design and deployment of robotic technologies for stroke recovery. Her work focuses on developing accessible, home-based rehabilitation systems for the upper limb, particularly the wrist and hand. Nasr’s major contributions include the feasibility and clinical evaluation of the SCRIPT project, which introduced a passive hand/wrist exoskeleton for self-administered training in chronic stroke survivors. Her 2015 study on using a motivational gaming environment with an arm and hand device demonstrated the potential for increased training dosage at home, accumulating 139 citations. Her 2014 paper on the SCRIPT exoskeleton design and deployment has been cited 105 times, underscoring its impact on the field. Nasr also emphasizes user-centered design, as shown in her 2015 work on co-designing technology with stroke survivors, which has 73 citations. Her research integrates technical evaluation with lived experiences, ensuring that rehabilitation tools are both effective and engaging. Nasr’s achievements include advancing the evidence base for home-based robotic therapy, with her work informing future assistive technologies and patient-centered rehabilitation protocols.
