About

Maryam Khamar is a researcher at the forefront of rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the design, modeling, and control of lower limb exoskeletons. Her work uniquely bridges mechanical engineering and clinical application, focusing on restoring natural gait for individuals with movement disorders. Her most-cited paper (2019, 36 citations) provides a foundational framework for human-exoskeleton interaction, detailing the critical simulation, kinetic, and kinematic modeling needed to extract key parameters for effective control. Building on this, her 2021 work (20 citations) tackles a significant real-world challenge: designing a robust controller for a lower limb exoskeleton to treat crouch gait, a common post-stroke or cerebral palsy condition, while managing the critical issue of actuator saturation. This contribution is notable for its direct clinical relevance, aiming to move exoskeletons from laboratory prototypes to viable therapeutic tools. Khamar’s research is distinguished by its holistic approach—from fundamental parameter extraction to advanced control under physical constraints—demonstrating a clear pathway toward practical, life-changing assistive technologies.
