About

I. Fuster is a leading researcher in the field of hybrid rehabilitation robotics, with a specific focus on ankle neuroprosthetics and functional electrical stimulation (FES). Their seminal 2017 work, "Towards an ankle neuroprosthesis for hybrid robotics," which has garnered 10 citations, lays the conceptual groundwork for integrating closed-loop FES systems with traditional robotic actuators. Fuster’s major contribution lies in exploring how these hybrid approaches can enhance motor function recovery by combining the precision of robotics with the physiological benefits of neurostimulation. By investigating current sources for FES, they have advanced the development of more effective, adaptive therapies for patients with motor impairments. Fuster’s research is pivotal in bridging the gap between neuroprosthetic control and robotic rehabilitation, offering promising pathways for restoring ankle function. Their work is highly regarded for its innovative synthesis of engineering and clinical rehabilitation, making it essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of assistive technologies and hybrid robotic systems.
