About
Weronika Nowakowska is a biomedical engineer whose research lies at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, neuroprosthetics, and human–machine interfaces. Her most cited work introduces a novel hybrid system that combines surface electromyography (sEMG)-triggered functional electrical stimulation (FES) with a robotic lower limb exoskeleton, designed specifically for stroke patients. This integrated approach addresses a critical gap in post-stroke rehabilitation, where conventional therapies often yield only partial motor recovery. By using the patient’s own muscle signals to initiate electrical stimulation and robotic assistance, Nowakowska’s system promotes active participation and neuroplasticity, offering a more effective pathway to restoring gait function. With 39 citations on this flagship paper, her contributions are gaining recognition in the rehabilitation engineering community. Her work exemplifies the shift toward closed-loop, patient-responsive therapies, and she continues to advance assistive technologies that bridge the gap between human physiology and robotic support. Nowakowska’s research holds promise for improving the quality of life for stroke survivors worldwide.
