About

Agnetha Korevaar is a leading figure in the development of robotic and augmented reality systems for neurological rehabilitation. Her core research focuses on restoring upper limb function after stroke and other neurological injuries, where she has pioneered methods to combat paresis and loss of hand function. Her most cited work, "Automated Variable Resistance System for Upper Limb Rehabilitation" (2009, 14 citations), introduced a novel robot-assisted therapy that integrates augmented reality to deliver variable resistance training. This contribution is significant because it directly addresses the critical link between paretic limb strength and patient independence, offering a more adaptive and engaging approach to recovery. By combining automated resistance with real-time visual feedback, Korevaar’s system helps patients regain motor control and activity levels that are essential for daily living. Her work stands out for its practical, patient-centered design, making her a respected innovator in the field of neurorehabilitation engineering.
