About
Jeevesh Kapur is a biomedical engineer and rehabilitation robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of soft robotics, stroke recovery, and preventive care. His most recognized contributions center on the development of innovative wearable robotic devices designed to address the complex challenges faced by stroke patients during rehabilitation. Most notably, Kapur has pioneered a soft robotic sock device that uses pressurized air-driven actuators to assist ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, providing targeted mechanical support to patients with compromised lower extremity mobility. This work tackles not only the restoration of motor function but also the critical prevention of deep vein thrombosis — a serious and often life-threatening complication associated with prolonged immobility following stroke. His 2016 foundational paper introducing the device and his 2019 preliminary clinical study examining its real-world therapeutic outcomes have each garnered 11 citations, demonstrating growing recognition within the rehabilitation engineering community. Kapur's research represents a meaningful step toward accessible, patient-friendly robotic rehabilitation tools, offering a promising alternative to conventional physiotherapy approaches and laying important groundwork for future clinical trials in post-stroke care.
