About
Aylar Akbari is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on developing accessible, home-based systems for neurorehabilitation. Her most influential work, "Robotic Home-Based Rehabilitation Systems Design: From a Literature Review to a Conceptual Framework for Community-Based Remote Therapy During COVID-19 Pandemic" (2021, 89 citations), addresses a critical gap in post-stroke care. Recognizing that early neurorehabilitation cannot be delayed—even during a pandemic—Akbari synthesized existing literature to propose a conceptual framework for safe, remote therapy. This framework enables community-based rehabilitation without exposing vulnerable patients to infection risks, directly responding to the heightened susceptibility of post-stroke individuals during COVID-19. Her contribution is notable for bridging engineering design with clinical urgency, offering a practical roadmap for deploying robotic systems in home environments. By prioritizing both safety and therapeutic continuity, Akbari’s work has shaped how rehabilitation engineers and clinicians approach remote care, ensuring that motor and functional recovery remains achievable under public health constraints. Her research continues to influence the design of patient-centered, scalable robotic solutions for long-term neurorehabilitation.
