About

Rubenson Brena-Garcia is a rising researcher in the field of biomedical engineering, with a focused interest in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies. Her work addresses a critical global need: making advanced rehabilitation accessible in technology-limited settings. Her most cited paper, "Design of an Exoskeletal Prototype to Contribute to the Partial Rehabilitation of the Upper-Limb" (2022), exemplifies this mission. In this study, she proposed a low-cost, functional exoskeleton prototype designed to aid upper-limb recovery, offering a practical alternative to expensive, high-tech rehabilitation systems. While still early in her career, with her primary work garnering 4 citations, the impact of her research lies in its potential for real-world application in underserved communities. Brena-Garcia’s contributions highlight a commitment to inclusive innovation—bridging the gap between cutting-edge biomechatronics and the practical constraints of developing countries. Her work serves as an inspiring example for students and researchers interested in engineering solutions that prioritize accessibility and social impact alongside technical advancement.
