About
Malaika Mushtaq is a rising researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing accessible robotic technologies for stroke recovery. Her key research areas include telerehabilitation, upper-limb robotics, and home-based therapy systems. Her most cited work, a 2024 feasibility study, investigates the use of a 2-D planar arm rehabilitation robot (H-Man) for hemiparetic stroke patients, demonstrating that clinic-to-home exergaming therapy is both safe and effective under minimally supervised conditions. This study, with 12 citations, marks a significant contribution to remote rehabilitation by integrating a web-based telemonitoring platform, potentially expanding access to therapy for underserved populations. Mushtaq’s work addresses critical gaps in post-stroke care, emphasizing user-friendly, low-cost solutions that empower patients to engage in intensive, gamified exercises from home. Her achievements highlight a commitment to translating engineering innovations into practical clinical tools, with implications for reducing healthcare disparities. As a young investigator, her research bridges robotics, human-computer interaction, and rehabilitation science, positioning her as a promising voice in the future of telerehabilitation and assistive technology.
