About
Jhorg K. Garcia is a leading researcher in neural engineering and human-machine interaction, with a primary focus on advancing upper-limb prosthetic technology. His work addresses the critical challenge of high prosthesis abandonment rates—up to 50%—by developing objective, user-centered metrics to quantify usability. Garcia’s most cited paper, “Improving Upper-limb Prosthesis Usability: Cognitive Workload Measures Quantify Task Difficulty” (2022), introduces a novel framework that uses physiological and behavioral measures to assess the cognitive demands placed on prosthetic users. This contribution provides a quantifiable, standardized approach to evaluating task difficulty, moving beyond subjective self-reports to offer clinicians and engineers actionable data. By bridging the gap between laboratory performance and real-world functionality, Garcia’s research directly supports the clinical adoption and cost reimbursement of next-generation prosthetic systems. His work has already garnered 6 citations, establishing a foundation for future studies in prosthetic design and rehabilitation. Garcia’s commitment to improving user experience and reducing abandonment rates marks him as a pivotal figure in making advanced prosthetics more accessible and effective for individuals with limb loss.
