About

Hadia Perez is a leading figure in rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in the design of soft, high-force hand exoskeletons for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke. Her seminal work, "A Soft High Force Hand Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation and Assistance of Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke Individuals," directly confronts the critical engineering challenge of balancing device power with ergonomics and portability. By developing a system that delivers substantial assistive force without sacrificing user comfort or wearability, Perez has created a practical solution for restoring manipulation capability in patients with severe motor deficits. This contribution, which has garnered 5 citations, is foundational for a new generation of wearable assistive devices that prioritize both clinical efficacy and real-world usability. Her research is instrumental in bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and viable, patient-ready technologies, offering renewed hope for functional independence in rehabilitation.
