About
Janina Krell‐Roesch is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of motor performance, aging, and assistive technology. Her primary research areas include the assessment of human motor function in older adults and the potential of lower limb exoskeletons to support healthy aging. In her perspective article, “Human motor performance assessment with lower limb exoskeletons as a potential strategy to support healthy aging,” she argues that regular, technology-driven monitoring of motor decline can enable timely, targeted interventions to preserve independence and quality of life. While early in its citation trajectory, this work has already garnered 4 citations, signaling growing interest in her integrative approach. Krell‐Roesch’s contribution lies in bridging gerontology and rehabilitation engineering, proposing exoskeletons not merely as assistive devices but as diagnostic tools to track age-related changes. Her research highlights how declines in motor performance—linked to impaired daily activities, reduced well-being, and increased mortality—can be addressed through proactive assessment. By framing exoskeleton-based evaluation as a strategy for healthy aging, she offers a forward-looking perspective that resonates with researchers in geroscience, robotics, and preventive medicine. Her work is particularly notable for its translational potential, aiming to move from lab-based assessments to real-world applications that empower older adults to age with greater mobility and autonomy.
