About

Claudia Kann’s research lies at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and biomechanics, with a focus on restoring motor function after neurological injury. Her work centers on using robotic exoskeletons—particularly for the wrist—to deliver high-intensity, long-duration therapy while simultaneously providing precise, quantitative assessments of patient progress. Her most cited paper, “Assessing Wrist Movement With Robotic Devices” (2018, 35 citations), establishes the foundation for using these devices to meet the growing demand for goal-oriented rehabilitation. In a complementary study, “Estimating anatomical wrist joint motion with a robotic exoskeleton” (2017, 8 citations), Kann demonstrates how exoskeletons can go beyond therapy to serve as diagnostic tools, offering repeatable measurements of anatomical motion that surpass traditional clinical assessments. Together, these contributions highlight her impact in advancing robotic rehabilitation from a treatment-only paradigm to one that integrates objective outcome measurement—a critical step for personalized neurorehabilitation. Kann’s work is notable for bridging engineering precision with clinical need, making her a key voice in the development of smart, data-driven therapy systems.
