About
Dr. Monika Kentel is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and sensorimotor assessment, with a focused expertise in joint position sense (JPS) and neuromuscular control. Her most cited work, "A Reliability of Active and Passive Knee Joint Position Sense Assessment Using the Luna EMG Rehabilitation Robot" (2022, 22 citations), represents a significant methodological contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Kentel established the reliability of both active and passive JPS assessment protocols for the knee joint using the innovative Luna EMG rehabilitation robot, providing clinicians and researchers with a validated tool for quantifying proprioceptive accuracy and precision. This work bridges the gap between robotic rehabilitation technology and objective sensorimotor evaluation, offering a standardized approach to assess joint awareness during movement. Dr. Kentel’s research has direct implications for improving rehabilitation outcomes in populations with knee injuries, neurological conditions, or age-related proprioceptive decline. Her contributions demonstrate a commitment to advancing evidence-based practice in physical therapy and human movement science, making her a notable figure in the integration of robotics for clinical assessment.
