About
Samantha G. Rozevink is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation, specializing in telerehabilitation and assistive technologies for upper limb recovery. Her work centers on developing and validating home-based training systems that leverage serious games and unactuated devices to improve motor function after stroke. Rozevink’s most notable contribution is the HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN) system, a telerehabilitation platform combining an unactuated version of the ArmAssist device with a telecare interface. Her landmark 2021 study on MERLIN (61 citations) demonstrated significant improvements in chronic stroke patients’ upper limb function through home-based, game-driven training. She also led a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis (42 citations) comparing task-specific training with assistive devices versus usual care, providing critical evidence for the efficacy of technology-assisted rehabilitation. Additionally, her preliminary work on MERLIN’s long-term effects (20 citations) addressed a key gap in the literature, showing sustained benefits beyond initial training. Rozevink’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable, cost-effective solutions for post-stroke recovery. Her findings have direct implications for reducing healthcare burdens and empowering patients through accessible, engaging rehabilitation tools.
