About

Anat Mirelman-Harari is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on integrating advanced robotics and virtual reality to restore motor function after neurological injury. Her pioneering work centers on developing interactive, technology-driven therapies that make repetitive rehabilitation exercises both effective and engaging. In her highly cited 2010 study, she introduced a haptic system for hand rehabilitation that combines a two-degree-of-freedom robotic interface with an interactive game, enabling patients to perform coordinated, task-specific movements. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, exemplifies her broader contributions to the field: bridging engineering and clinical neuroscience to create accessible, data-driven rehabilitation tools. Mirelman-Harari’s research has demonstrated that such systems can significantly improve motor recovery by leveraging principles of neuroplasticity and user engagement. Her achievements include advancing the design of patient-centered robotic devices and influencing the development of low-cost, home-based rehabilitation technologies. For students and researchers, her work offers a compelling model of how interdisciplinary innovation can transform recovery outcomes for individuals with neurological deficits.
