About
Roxanna Bendixen is a leading researcher in assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on improving mobility and caregiving for individuals with neuromuscular disorders. Her work centers on the development and evaluation of robotic and mechanical assistive devices, particularly for upper-extremity support and safe patient transfers. Bendixen’s major contribution lies in systematically comparing the usability and task load of novel robotic assisted transfer devices (RATDs) against traditional mechanical floor lifts, demonstrating that RATDs can significantly reduce physical strain, maneuvering effort, and cognitive burden on caregivers during transfers. Her most-cited paper (2020, 14 citations) provides critical evidence for the real-world applicability of these technologies, while also highlighting necessary improvements in human-machine interfaces. Additionally, Bendixen co-organized the 2nd Workshop on Upper-Extremity Assistive Technology for People with Duchenne (2019, 8 citations), a notable achievement that brought together clinicians, engineers, and users to advance arm support solutions. Her research directly informs the design of safer, more intuitive assistive devices, making her a key figure in bridging engineering innovation with practical caregiving needs.
