About
Arantxa Castrillo-Calvillo is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing adaptive, patient-centered technologies for individuals with neurological impairments. Her primary research areas include modular robotic gait devices, human-robot interaction, and neurorehabilitation engineering. Her most notable contribution is the design and validation of STELO, a groundbreaking modular robotic gait device specifically tailored for acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors. Unlike traditional rigid, bilateral exoskeletons, STELO offers unprecedented adaptability, allowing clinicians to customize support for each patient’s unique gait deficits. This innovation directly addresses a critical gap in rehabilitation technology, as evidenced by her 2023 paper on STELO’s usability, which has already garnered 4 citations and is shaping future device development. Castrillo-Calvillo’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, emphasizing usability and real-world applicability. Her research is poised to transform gait rehabilitation, offering more flexible, effective solutions that improve mobility and quality of life for ABI patients. As a rising voice in assistive robotics, her contributions are paving the way for next-generation, modular rehabilitation tools.
