About

Zuliani Zulkoffli has established herself as a leading voice in biomedical engineering, with a focused expertise in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies for stroke recovery. Her major contribution lies in the comprehensive synthesis and advancement of gait rehabilitation devices, addressing a critical global health challenge. Her seminal review, "Development of gait rehabilitation devices: a review of the literature" (2023, 5 citations), systematically maps the landscape of robotic exoskeletons, powered orthoses, and treadmill-based systems designed to restore walking function. This work is particularly impactful given that stroke—the second leading cause of death worldwide, affecting 15 million people annually—often leaves survivors with debilitating gait impairments. By critically evaluating device efficacy, design principles, and clinical outcomes, Zulkoffli provides a foundational roadmap for engineers and clinicians alike. Her research bridges the gap between mechanical innovation and patient-centered rehabilitation, offering practical insights for developing more accessible and effective therapies. Through her meticulous scholarship, she is helping to transform stroke rehabilitation from passive recovery to active, technology-driven restoration of mobility.
