About
Dr. Hana M Ready is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on using robotic technologies to assess and enhance upper-limb motor function in children. Her major contribution lies in bridging the gap between adult-oriented robotic rehabilitation and the unique developmental needs of younger populations. In her highly cited 2020 systematic review, "Tools and Techniques Used With Robotic Devices to Quantify Upper-Limb Function in Typically Developing Children," Dr. Ready synthesized evidence from 21 studies to establish a foundational framework for quantifying how motor abilities evolve during childhood. This work has garnered 21 citations, underscoring its importance in guiding clinicians and engineers toward more precise, objective assessments of pediatric neuromotor development. By highlighting the critical need to measure the rate of change in motor performance as children grow, Dr. Ready’s research informs the design of adaptive robotic interventions that can better support children with motor impairments. Her contributions are paving the way for more personalized, data-driven rehabilitation strategies, making her a key figure in advancing pediatric neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics.
