About
Boris van Schooten is a leading researcher in the fields of rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology for neurorehabilitation. His most impactful contribution is the design, development, and deployment of a hand/wrist exoskeleton for home-based stroke rehabilitation as part of the SCRIPT project (2014), which has garnered over 105 citations. This work addresses critical demographic shifts by providing robotic tools that enable patients to perform intensive, task-specific therapy independently at home, moving rehabilitation beyond clinical settings. Van Schooten’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, demonstrating how robotic systems can augment traditional therapy to improve motor recovery and quality of life for stroke survivors. His notable achievements include advancing user-centered design in exoskeleton development, ensuring devices are safe, effective, and accessible for long-term home use. By integrating real-world deployment with rigorous evaluation, van Schooten has helped establish evidence for the feasibility and benefits of home-based robotic rehabilitation, influencing both future research directions and practical applications in neurorehabilitation technology.
