About
Christine Coste is a leading researcher in assistive and rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on restoring motor function for individuals with tetraplegia. Her groundbreaking work centers on developing intuitive human-machine interfaces that leverage residual muscle activity, enabling users to control assistive devices like robotic hands and neuroprostheses. In her most cited paper (32 citations), she introduced a novel EMG interface that processes supra-lesional muscle responses to pilot robot hand grasping, demonstrating feasibility in individuals with spinal cord injury. She further advanced this field by exploring how residual muscle contraction and movement can improve control of assistive technologies, as detailed in her 2019 work (27 citations). Coste’s contributions extend to pathological walking assessment, where she developed an affordable mobile analysis platform (19 citations), and to upper limb movement classification for neuroprosthesis interfaces. Her interdisciplinary synthesis of bipedal locomotion, bridging neuroscience and robotics, underscores her holistic approach to movement restoration. With a career dedicated to translating research into practical, low-cost solutions, Coste’s work has profound implications for enhancing independence and quality of life for people with paralysis.
