About
Masaki Uchida’s research sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and orthopedic biomechanics, with a focus on developing quantitative tools to evaluate and enhance therapeutic outcomes. His early work centered on upper limb rehabilitation, where he pioneered the use of a 3D force display robot to create a rehabilitation training support system (2007, 10 citations). Uchida introduced novel methods to model and analyze upper limb motion during sanding training—a common resistance therapy in Japanese occupational therapy—aiming to replace subjective assessments with objective, data-driven evaluations (2007–2008, 3–6 citations). More recently, his research has shifted to total knee arthroplasty, where he employs robotic systems and tensioner devices to assess joint laxity and soft tissue balance, revealing critical discrepancies between predicted and actual surgical outcomes (2025, 1–2 citations). This work highlights his commitment to bridging engineering precision with clinical practice, offering surgeons actionable insights to improve implant stability and patient recovery. Though his citation counts remain modest, Uchida’s contributions are foundational in advancing rehabilitation robotics and quantitative surgical evaluation, making him a notable figure in Japan’s growing field of medical robotics.
