About

Paula Rodríguez-Alonso is a rising figure in neurorehabilitation engineering, with her work centered on the intersection of robotics, biosignal processing, and human motor recovery. Her primary research focuses on developing hybrid systems that integrate robotic exoskeletons with neural and muscular signal acquisition—specifically EEG and EMG—to enhance rehabilitation outcomes for patients with motor impairments. Her most cited study, "A Hybrid Approach to Neuro-Rehabilitation: Validating an Integrated EEG-EMG/Robotic System for Wrist Therapy" (2025), introduces the BiomechWrist, a 3-degree-of-freedom exoskeleton that combines real-time biosignal feedback with robotic assistance. This work represents a significant step toward closed-loop, patient-adaptive therapy, offering a more personalized and physiologically informed approach to wrist rehabilitation. Though early in her career, Rodríguez-Alonso’s contributions are already shaping the next generation of assistive technologies, bridging the gap between neural activity and mechanical intervention. Her research holds promise for improving recovery trajectories in stroke and spinal cord injury patients, marking her as a researcher to watch in the evolving field of intelligent neurorehabilitation.
