About

Xabier Justo is a researcher specializing in rehabilitation robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing accessible technologies for post-stroke recovery. His major contributions include the design and development of the HomeRehab robot, a compact, electric-driven device for in-home tele-rehabilitation, which addresses the critical challenge of translating large pneumatic systems into portable, high-performance solutions for three-dimensional therapy. This work, published in 2018 and cited 43 times, has laid foundational groundwork for remote rehabilitation. Justo has also explored methods for user activity recognition in exoskeletons, aiming to enhance adaptive control and user intent detection in wearable assistive devices. His research bridges mechanical design and intelligent control, advancing the practicality of robotic therapy outside clinical settings. By prioritizing home-based solutions, Justo’s work directly impacts patient autonomy and recovery outcomes, making rehabilitation more accessible and cost-effective. His achievements reflect a commitment to translating complex engineering into real-world therapeutic tools, with potential to transform post-stroke care globally.
