About

Imad Sedki is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on alleviating phantom limb pain (PLP) in amputees. His most impactful work, the 2017 paper "Robotic therapy for phantom limb pain in upper limb amputees" (16 citations), introduces a pioneering system that combines virtual reality with haptic feedback to enhance immersion and invoke a sense of agency in patients. By presenting three case studies from an ongoing clinical trial, Sedki demonstrates how this robotic therapy can significantly reduce perceived pain, offering a non-pharmacological alternative for a condition that affects millions. His contributions lie in translating immersive technology into tangible therapeutic outcomes, bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice. Sedki’s research is notable for its patient-centered approach, emphasizing the psychological and sensory aspects of recovery. With his work gaining traction in the rehabilitation community, he is shaping the future of prosthetic care and pain management, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the convergence of robotics, virtual reality, and neurorehabilitation.
