About
Courtney Strzelczyk is a researcher focused on assistive and rehabilitation robotics, with a particular emphasis on improving quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities. Her key research areas include soft robotics, wearable assistive devices, and biomechanics, where she addresses the critical problem of shoulder overuse syndrome (SOS) in wheelchair users. Her most notable contribution is the development of a soft robotic shoulder assist device, designed to prevent the fatigue-related injuries caused by repetitive motion in manual wheelchair propulsion. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 3 citations and represents an important step toward non-invasive, wearable solutions that could reduce reliance on traditional therapies like physiotherapy and kinesiology tape. By integrating soft robotics with biomechanical understanding, Strzelczyk's research offers a promising alternative for mitigating SOS, a condition that significantly impacts mobility and independence. Her work stands out for its practical, user-centered approach, aiming to translate cutting-edge soft robotic technology into accessible, everyday assistive tools.
