About
Jules Dewald is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, whose work focuses on understanding and quantifying upper limb motor impairments following stroke and brain injury. His major contributions center on the development of robotic systems and sensing technologies to characterize discoordination, loss of independent joint control, and interlimb coupling in hemiparetic patients. Notably, his pilot study on using a video game environment (air hockey) to improve reaching performance in stroke survivors (39 citations) demonstrated innovative approaches to rehabilitation. He also pioneered the quantification of reaching workspace and dynamic characterization of upper limb discoordination, with key papers garnering 23 and 21 citations respectively. Dewald’s development of the Wrist and Finger Torque Sensor (WFTS) and the ACT-3D robotic system has enabled precise measurement of isometric torques and work area deficits, providing critical tools for impairment-based neurorehabilitation. His work has been cited over 125 times, reflecting its impact on both clinical practice and rehabilitation robotics. Through these achievements, Dewald has advanced our understanding of stroke-induced motor deficits and paved the way for targeted, technology-driven interventions.
