About
Yuki Mashizume is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of occupational therapy and emerging rehabilitation technologies. Their primary research focus is on understanding how occupational therapists perceive and integrate robotics into clinical practice, particularly for patients with chronic stroke. Mashizume’s most-cited paper, “Occupational Therapists’ Perceptions of Robotics Use for Patients With Chronic Stroke” (2021), addresses a critical gap in the literature: while robotic therapy’s effectiveness is well-documented, the practical experiences and attitudes of the therapists who would implement it remain underexplored. By capturing these frontline perspectives, Mashizume provides actionable insights that bridge the gap between technological innovation and real-world clinical adoption. This work has garnered 10 citations, establishing a foundation for future studies on human factors in rehabilitation robotics. Mashizume’s contributions are especially valuable for students and practitioners in occupational therapy and rehabilitation engineering, highlighting the importance of user-centered design in assistive technology. Their research underscores that successful stroke rehabilitation depends not only on advanced devices but also on the readiness and training of the therapists who use them.
