About
Craig D. Tokuno is a leading researcher in human motor control and neurorehabilitation, with a focus on understanding how the nervous system adapts to injury and how technology can restore function. His work bridges biomechanics, robotics, and clinical neuroscience to develop innovative rehabilitation strategies for individuals with neurological conditions. Among his most impactful contributions is the development of adaptive rehabilitation techniques using haptic robotics, as demonstrated in his 2025 study on “Wristful thinking,” which explored how robotic training can induce cross-education—the transfer of motor learning from a trained to an untrained limb—in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). This work, involving fourteen MS participants and eight healthy adults over an eight-week intervention, has garnered early attention for its potential to improve upper limb function in populations with limited mobility. Tokuno’s research is widely cited, reflecting its influence on both rehabilitation engineering and clinical practice. His achievements include advancing the use of robotic devices for personalized therapy and deepening our understanding of neural plasticity in disease. For students and researchers, Tokuno’s work exemplifies how interdisciplinary approaches can transform rehabilitation science.
