About
Claudia Rudhe’s research stands at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and robotics, with a focused commitment to improving functional outcomes for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work centers on the development and validation of robotic and orthotic systems for the upper limb, particularly for assessment and therapy. In her landmark 2015 study, “Robot-Assisted Arm Assessments in Spinal Cord Injured Patients,” Rudhe demonstrated how therapy robots can serve not only as training tools but as precise diagnostic instruments to evaluate motor function and track recovery—a concept study that has garnered 61 citations and shaped subsequent assessment protocols. Earlier, in 2012, she established the reliability of movement workspace measurements using a passive arm orthosis in SCI rehabilitation, a foundational contribution cited 38 times for its methodological rigor. These works underscore her role in advancing objective, technology-driven evaluation methods that complement traditional clinical scales. Rudhe’s research is particularly notable for bridging engineering precision with patient-centered rehabilitation, offering clinicians and researchers actionable tools to quantify therapy progress. Her contributions continue to influence the design of assistive devices and robotic assessments in neurological rehabilitation.
