About

Qamer Iqbal Khan is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing accessible, cost-effective technologies for post-stroke motor recovery. His most impactful work centers on the design and validation of portable, reconfigurable robotic systems that can be deployed in clinical and home settings, directly addressing the critical barrier of high equipment costs. His landmark 2017 paper on a modular wrist robot, which has garnered 53 citations, demonstrates a significant contribution by proving that therapeutic efficacy need not be sacrificed for affordability and portability. Khan’s research also emphasizes the integration of quantitative assessment into rehabilitation, as seen in his development of the iRest interactive assessment tool. By moving beyond conventional subjective scales, his work provides objective metrics for tracking patient progress, a vital step for personalized therapy. Through these innovations, Khan is actively shaping a future where advanced robotic rehabilitation is more widely available, helping to restore hand function and independence for stroke survivors.
