About
Richelle A. C. M. Olde Keizer is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology, rehabilitation robotics, and human movement science. Her work focuses on enhancing mobility and independence among vulnerable populations, particularly older adults and stroke survivors. She is best known for her pioneering research on socially assistive robots (SARs) for frailty prevention, where she critically examined usability and user experience challenges—a study that has garnered 59 citations and shaped the design of human-centered robotic interventions. In parallel, her investigation into paretic versus non-paretic stepping responses following pelvis perturbations in chronic-stage stroke survivors (28 citations) has provided foundational insights for developing robotic exoskeletons that support balance during gait. This work directly informs rehabilitation strategies and assistive technology design. Olde Keizer’s contributions bridge engineering, clinical practice, and human factors, making her a key figure in the push toward real-world deployment of assistive robots. Her research not only advances scientific understanding but also addresses pressing societal needs, positioning her as a thought leader in aging and neurorehabilitation technologies.
