About
Andrew Centen is a leading researcher in the field of neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on the quantitative assessment of motor impairment following stroke. His work centers on using robotic technology to objectively measure movement kinematics, proprioception, and spasticity in the upper limb. Centen’s major contributions include the development of the Kinarm robotic exoskeleton-based assessment tools, such as the KAPS (Kinematic Assessment of Passive Stretch) protocol, which provides a precise, quantitative alternative to traditional clinical scales for evaluating spasticity. His most-cited paper, “Movement kinematics and proprioception in post-stroke spasticity” (2019, 61 citations), demonstrates how robotic assessments can differentiate movement patterns in individuals with and without spasticity, offering critical insights into post-stroke motor control. With over 90 combined citations, his work has significantly advanced the objective characterization of spasticity and sensory-motor deficits, directly informing more targeted rehabilitation strategies. Centen’s research is notable for bridging engineering and clinical practice, making robotic tools accessible for routine assessment and improving our understanding of stroke recovery.
