About
Kamakshi Lakshminarayan is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring sensorimotor function after stroke. Her work lies at the intersection of robotics, somatosensory science, and motor recovery, specifically targeting the often-overlooked role of proprioception—the body’s ability to sense its own position and movement. Her most cited study (2021, 40 citations) provides compelling evidence that robot-aided somatosensory training can significantly improve both proprioceptive accuracy and upper limb motor function in stroke survivors. This is a critical contribution, as proprioceptive deficits are known to hinder motor recovery and daily living activities. By demonstrating that targeted sensory retraining can enhance motor control, Lakshminarayan’s research challenges conventional rehabilitation paradigms and opens new avenues for integrating robotic devices into clinical practice. Her work is highly influential among rehabilitation engineers and clinicians seeking evidence-based, technology-driven therapies. Lakshminarayan’s findings underscore the importance of sensory feedback in motor learning, positioning her as a key voice in the future of post-stroke neurorehabilitation.
