About

Marc Siegenthaler is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing wearable technologies to restore hand and wrist function after neurological injury. His work centers on the design and clinical evaluation of portable exoskeletons for stroke rehabilitation, addressing the critical need for unsupervised, home-based training to improve activities of daily living. His most cited paper, "Characterization and wearability evaluation of a fully portable wrist exoskeleton for unsupervised training after stroke" (2020, 63 citations), demonstrates his commitment to translating lab-based robotic systems into practical, patient-worn devices. Siegenthaler has also pioneered novel assessment methods, as seen in his work on perturbation-based robot-assisted evaluations of hand sensorimotor impairments (2020, 5 citations), which aims to quantify deficits in sensory feedback integration and corrective motor responses. By combining engineering innovation with rigorous clinical testing, his research directly bridges the gap between robotic assistance and meaningful functional recovery, offering new pathways for scalable, accessible neurorehabilitation. His contributions are shaping the future of wearable robotics for stroke survivors and individuals with hand impairments.
