About
Dr. Cigdem Yilmazer is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and sensorimotor assessment, with a focus on developing objective, technology-driven tools for individuals with neurological disorders. Her major contributions center on the intersection of robotics and clinical neuroscience, particularly in quantifying proprioceptive deficits that are often overlooked by traditional clinical methods. In her highly cited 2023 work, she demonstrated the reliability, validity, and clinical usability of a robotic assessment for finger proprioception in persons with multiple sclerosis—a breakthrough that enables precise tracking of disease progression and paves the way for personalized rehabilitation. This research addresses a critical gap in hand function evaluation, as proprioceptive impairments significantly impact daily living but are notoriously difficult to measure. With over 10 citations already, this work underscores the growing demand for objective, quantitative assessments in neurology. Dr. Yilmazer’s innovative approach not only enhances our understanding of sensorimotor dysfunction but also provides clinicians with actionable tools to tailor interventions, making her a pivotal figure in advancing evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
