About
Moriko Hagiwara is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing assistive technologies for gait recovery. Her work centers on the design and control of lower-limb robotic orthoses, particularly those actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). In her most cited study, she introduced a novel robotic orthosis for gait rehabilitation, featuring hip and knee joints driven by PAMs in an antagonistic configuration. A key innovation was the incorporation of bi-articular muscles to enhance joint stiffness and mimic human biomechanics more closely. This work, published in 2017, has garnered 5 citations and laid the groundwork for more natural, compliant robotic assistance in physical therapy. Hagiwara’s contributions are vital for advancing rehabilitation engineering, offering safer and more effective solutions for patients with mobility impairments. Her research continues to influence the development of wearable robotic systems that integrate biological principles, bridging the gap between human physiology and machine assistance.
