About
Pooneh Roshani is a researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and pediatric neuromuscular care, with a focus on developing accessible, engaging therapeutic technologies. Her most notable contribution is the creation of PedBot, a three-degree-of-freedom ankle rehabilitation robot integrated with a custom-designed video game, specifically aimed at children with cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular disorders. This innovative system addresses critical limitations in traditional physical therapy by combining precise robotic assistance with interactive gameplay to enhance patient motivation and treatment adherence. While her work has garnered foundational citations (6 for the PedBot paper), its true impact lies in its potential to transform pediatric rehabilitation through a patient-centered, technology-driven approach. Roshani’s research exemplifies how engineering can directly improve clinical outcomes for vulnerable populations, bridging gaps between robotic design, gamification, and therapeutic efficacy. Her contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in assistive robotics, human-machine interaction, and pediatric neurorehabilitation.
