About

Ligia Rusu is a dedicated researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering and rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent robotic systems for both upper and lower limb recovery. Her work addresses a critical need in modern medicine: the integration of robotics into physical therapy to enhance patient outcomes. Rusu’s major contributions lie in establishing the medical and technical requirements for such systems, as demonstrated in her foundational 2017 paper on upper limb rehabilitation, which has garnered 6 citations. She has extended this analysis to lower limb rehabilitation in her 2023 work, which has already attracted 2 citations. By analyzing human motion through video and other sensors, as seen in her 2018 study on upper limb motion analysis (3 citations), Rusu provides the biomechanical data essential for designing adaptive, intelligent control algorithms. Her ongoing project aims to create a 3D-adaptive robotic system for lower limbs, showcasing her commitment to translating research into practical, patient-centered solutions. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory from requirement analysis to system implementation, Rusu is a rising voice in rehabilitation engineering, offering a promising path for students and researchers interested in the future of assistive robotics.
