About
Victor Flausino Machado is a researcher at the forefront of robotic rehabilitation engineering, specializing in the design and evaluation of assistive technologies for upper limb recovery. His primary research areas include soft robotics, artificial tendon systems, and mechatronic orthoses for post-stroke rehabilitation. Machado’s most cited work, "Evaluation of Commercial Ropes Applied as Artificial Tendons in Robotic Rehabilitation Orthoses" (2020), makes a critical contribution by systematically testing and selecting commercial ropes to replace biological tendons in hand rehabilitation orthoses. Through direct load measurements, he established the mechanical viability of these low-cost, durable materials, enabling more accessible and effective robotic devices for stroke survivors. This foundational study, with 7 citations, has informed subsequent designs in soft actuation and rehabilitation robotics. Machado’s work bridges engineering and clinical application, offering practical solutions for restoring hand function. His research continues to advance the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on creating affordable, robust orthoses that can be deployed in both clinical and home settings, ultimately improving quality of life for individuals with motor impairments.
