About
Gissele Mosqueda is a researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and human motor control, with a focus on improving assist-as-needed (AAN) therapeutic devices. Her work addresses a critical gap in robot-based rehabilitation: understanding the motivational and psychological factors that influence patient engagement and recovery. In her most cited paper, "Identifying Motivational Factors Affecting Assist-as-Needed Rehabilitation" (2021, 2 citations), Mosqueda synthesizes three decades of AAN device design to argue that successful rehabilitation depends not only on mechanical precision but also on the human element—specifically, how motivation, autonomy, and perceived challenge shape therapy outcomes. While her citation count is modest, her contribution is notable for bridging engineering and behavioral science, offering a framework for designing more adaptive, patient-centered robotic therapies. Mosqueda’s work is particularly relevant for students and researchers in rehabilitation engineering, human-robot interaction, and neurorehabilitation, as it challenges the field to move beyond purely technical optimization and consider the lived experience of the user. Her research lays groundwork for future studies on personalized, motivation-aware assistive technologies.
