About
George Mochizuki is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation whose work focuses on the quantitative assessment of motor impairment after stroke. His primary research areas include movement kinematics, proprioception, and spasticity in the upper extremity, with a particular emphasis on developing objective, robotic-based tools to replace traditional clinical scales. Mochizuki’s major contributions include the creation of the KAPS (Kinematic Assessment of Passive Stretch) tool, which uses a robotic exoskeleton to precisely measure elbow flexor and extensor spasticity, as well as the use of the Kinarm exoskeleton to evaluate how spasticity alters movement patterns and proprioception. His most cited work, a 2019 study on movement kinematics and proprioception in post-stroke spasticity (61 citations), has been instrumental in demonstrating how robotic technology can differentiate specific features of motor impairment that traditional assessments miss. By providing high-resolution, quantitative data, Mochizuki’s research is paving the way for more targeted rehabilitation strategies and personalized treatment plans for stroke survivors.
