About
Katarzyna Bienias is a researcher at the forefront of neurorehabilitation and biomechanics, specializing in the integration of robotic systems with electromyography (EMG) to restore motor function. Her work centers on two key areas: assessing joint position sense (JPS) and improving gait and muscle control in patients with neurological disorders. In her highly cited 2022 study (22 citations), Bienias established the reliability of active and passive knee JPS assessment using the Luna EMG rehabilitation robot, providing a foundational tool for quantifying proprioceptive deficits. Her 2021 paper (15 citations) demonstrated that EMG-triggered robotic movement significantly enhances walking ability, muscle force, and reduces spasticity in post-stroke patients, highlighting the power of active patient participation in neuroplasticity. More recently, she has explored the use of isokinetic dynamometry and surface EMG to evaluate neurological disorders in the biceps and triceps. By merging robotics with real-time muscle signal feedback, Bienias is pioneering accessible, data-driven rehabilitation strategies that promise to transform recovery outcomes for stroke survivors and individuals with movement impairments.
