About

Joel Asto-Evangelista is a researcher dedicated to advancing rehabilitation engineering and assistive technologies for individuals with mobility impairments. His primary focus lies in the design and systematic evaluation of lower-limb orthoses, bridging the gap between clinical rehabilitation and robotic assistance. His most cited work, "Types of Lower-Limb Orthoses for Rehabilitation and Assistance: A Systematic Review" (2021), has garnered 23 citations, establishing a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians navigating the diverse landscape of orthotic devices. This review critically categorizes and analyzes existing technologies, highlighting their applications for patients recovering from accidents, paralysis, degenerative diseases, or age-related muscle weakness. By synthesizing evidence on both passive and robotic orthoses, Asto-Evangelista provides a roadmap for future innovation, emphasizing the need for devices that enhance mobility and quality of life. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and engineers entering the field, offering a clear taxonomy of current solutions and unmet challenges. Through his systematic approach, Asto-Evangelista underscores the importance of evidence-based design in rehabilitation, positioning his work as a key resource for developing more effective, accessible assistive technologies.
