About
Lorelle J. Fraser is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies for individuals with motor impairments. Her most notable contribution is the development of a 3-DOF admittance control robotic arm integrated with a 3D virtual game, designed specifically for facilitated training of the hemiparetic hand. This senior capstone project, completed at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, addresses a critical need in upper extremity rehabilitation by combining robotic assistance with engaging virtual environments to promote motor recovery. While her work has garnered 5 citations, its impact lies in its innovative approach to merging haptic control with gamification—a concept that has since gained traction in neurorehabilitation. Fraser’s research exemplifies how engineering design can directly improve clinical outcomes for stroke survivors and patients with neurological conditions. Her project stands as a testament to the potential of low-cost, accessible robotic systems in therapeutic settings, bridging the gap between engineering and patient-centered care.
