About
Mathieu Maltais is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of geriatric rehabilitation and assistive robotics. His primary focus is on developing and evaluating innovative technologies to improve mobility and functional outcomes for older adults, particularly those recovering from fragility fractures. Maltais’s most cited study, "Effects of a Balance Exercise Assist Robot on Older Patients with Hip Fracture: A Preliminary Study" (2020), is a landmark contribution that explores the use of robotic systems to deliver targeted balance training in a clinical setting. This work, with 11 citations, demonstrates the potential of robotic assistance to enhance traditional physiotherapy, addressing a critical need for safe, effective interventions that reduce fall risk and accelerate recovery after hip fracture—a common and debilitating injury in the elderly. By bridging engineering and clinical practice, Maltais is helping to shape a future where technology plays a central role in personalized rehabilitation, offering new hope for maintaining independence in aging populations.
