About
Leah Piggott’s research lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, haptic technology, and virtual reality, with a focus on restoring upper limb function after paralysis. Her most-cited work, a 2016 review on haptic neurorehabilitation and virtual reality for upper limb paralysis, has garnered 43 citations and critically examines how traditional motor recovery methods fall short. Piggott argues that future therapies must integrate sensory feedback—particularly haptic cues—to truly enhance quality of life for individuals with motor and sensory loss. By highlighting the hand’s essential role in daily activities, she underscores the need for immersive, technology-driven rehabilitation that bridges the gap between motor and sensory recovery. Her contributions offer a roadmap for developing more holistic, patient-centered interventions, positioning her as a forward-thinking voice in the field. Piggott’s work not only synthesizes existing knowledge but also challenges researchers to rethink conventional approaches, making her a notable figure in advancing neurorehabilitation for upper limb paralysis.
