About
Joshua G. A. Cashaback is a leading researcher at the intersection of motor learning, sensorimotor control, and neurorehabilitation. His work fundamentally explores how the brain learns and refines movement, with a strong translational focus on developing innovative technologies to enhance physical therapy outcomes. A key contribution is his research on somatosensory perceptual training, demonstrating that observing a tutor undergoing motor learning can facilitate functional plasticity in the motor system and improve subsequent motor performance—a finding with over 30 citations that bridges social learning and motor skill acquisition. Cashaback is also at the forefront of rehabilitation engineering, pioneering the use of immersive virtual reality and robotics to address low patient adherence in upper extremity therapy for stroke survivors. His recent work validates novel, objective assessment tools, such as tablet-based sensorimotor tests and carbon nanocomposite wearable sensors integrated with robotic systems, to precisely characterize upper limb function. By combining rigorous behavioral experiments with cutting-edge sensor technology, Cashaback’s research is shaping the future of personalized, engaging, and effective rehabilitation strategies.
