About

Samuel Lund is a rising figure in rehabilitation robotics, with a focused interest in soft robotic systems for motor recovery after neurological injury. His most-cited work, "Exploring a Novel Rehabilitation Soft Robot Design for Stroke Patients With Clenched Fists," addresses a critical clinical challenge: the debilitating spasticity that leaves many stroke survivors with overactive finger flexors and an inability to open their hands. Lund’s key contribution lies in engineering a soft, compliant robotic device specifically tailored to counteract this clenched-fist deformity, offering a gentler, more adaptive alternative to rigid orthoses. By prioritizing patient comfort and safety, his design enables repetitive, activity-based therapy that is essential for neuroplasticity and functional regain. While his citation count is still growing—a natural stage for an early-career researcher—his work is already recognized for its practical, patient-centered approach to a common post-stroke complication. Lund’s research sits at the intersection of biomechatronics and clinical rehabilitation, promising to make hand therapy more accessible and effective for the millions affected by stroke-related hand impairments.
