About

Alexandra Jamieson is a rising leader in the field of soft robotics for neurorehabilitation, with a focused mission to restore upper-limb function in patients recovering from stroke and other neurological impairments. Her research centers on the design and control of pneumatically actuated, compliant exoskeletons that provide safe, motion-assisted therapy for the hand, wrist, and bilateral upper extremities. Jamieson’s most cited work, a 2024 paper on a soft robotic hand and wrist exoskeleton (25 citations), introduces a novel approach to fine motor rehabilitation by combining simplistic actuation with the inherent safety of soft materials. She further advances the field by integrating these wearable robots with immersive virtual reality systems, as demonstrated in her 2023 paper on a VR hand rehabilitation game, which addresses the critical challenge of patient motivation during repetitive therapy. Her 2024 paper on a bilateral soft robotic system (9 citations) underscores her commitment to clinically relevant, bilateral training paradigms. With a rapidly growing citation record and a clear translational focus, Jamieson is establishing herself as a key innovator in accessible, engaging, and effective robotic rehabilitation technologies.
