About
Maria Kyriakidou is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in the development of assistive technologies for post-stroke recovery. Her primary research focuses on integrating robotic exoskeletons with augmented reality (AR) to address upper limb impairments, particularly spasticity and hand function loss. In her landmark 2025 pilot randomized control study, Kyriakidou introduced "Rehabotics," a novel exoskeletal aid paired with AR-based games designed to enhance motor recovery and activities of daily living. This work, already garnering 4 citations in its first year, demonstrates her ability to translate engineering solutions into clinically viable tools. By combining biomechanical support with engaging, task-specific AR environments, she has pioneered a patient-centered approach that improves adherence and functional outcomes. Her contributions are shaping the next generation of stroke rehabilitation, offering hope for more effective, technology-driven therapies. Kyriakidou's research stands at the intersection of robotics, virtual reality, and clinical neuroscience, making her a rising voice in the field of assistive neurotechnology.
