About
Dr. Hanan Yumna is a pioneering researcher in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, with a focused expertise in developing innovative solutions for post-stroke motor recovery. Her most cited work, "Robotic Hand Exoskeleton With Tactile Force Feedback For Post-Stroke Spasticity Rehabilitation" (2021), addresses a critical clinical challenge: the debilitating muscle stiffness that impairs grasping ability in stroke survivors. By designing a robotic exoskeleton that integrates tactile force feedback, Dr. Yumna enables repetitive, task-specific practice—such as grasping and lifting a cup—which is essential for retraining neural pathways and reducing spasticity. This work, garnering 3 citations, exemplifies her commitment to translating engineering principles into tangible therapeutic tools. Her contributions lie at the intersection of mechatronics, haptics, and neurorehabilitation, offering a patient-centered approach that enhances functional independence. Dr. Yumna’s research not only advances the field of robotic rehabilitation but also holds profound implications for improving quality of life in post-stroke populations, making her a rising voice in assistive robotics.
