About
David Sebastian Lopez is a researcher focused on advancing rehabilitation robotics, particularly for upper-limb recovery in stroke patients. His work centers on developing and evaluating robotic devices that enable effective therapy in home settings, bridging the gap between clinical rehabilitation and independent patient care. Lopez’s major contributions include the design and user-centered assessment of the novel tele-rehabilitation system HomeRehab, which he compared against the established PupArm device. His studies, such as “Patient Evaluation of an Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robotic Device for Home Use” (11 citations) and “Evaluation of an Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robotic Device for Home Use from Patient Perspective” (9 citations), are among his most cited works, highlighting his impact on patient-centric rehabilitation technology. By prioritizing user feedback and real-world usability, Lopez has helped shape the development of accessible, home-based robotic therapy solutions. His research not only advances engineering design but also underscores the importance of patient perspectives in medical robotics, making his work valuable for students and researchers interested in neurorehabilitation, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology.
