About
Michael Joebges is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on robotic-assisted therapy for motor recovery after stroke. His work centers on understanding human haptic interaction and translating those insights into adaptive robotic systems that enhance motor learning. A key contribution is his development of the Bi-Manu-Interact device, a novel platform for studying bimanual haptic interactions during rehabilitation. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2017 paper, explores how robotic assistance can be tailored to a patient’s real-time abilities, enabling more effective, high-intensity repetitive movement training. By emphasizing the importance of adaptive, patient-centered robotic support, Joebges has helped shape a new paradigm in stroke rehabilitation—one that prioritizes individualized, interactive therapy over one-size-fits-all approaches. His research bridges engineering, neuroscience, and clinical practice, offering tangible pathways to improve motor recovery outcomes. With his work accumulating growing citation impact, Joebges continues to influence both the design of rehabilitation technologies and the theoretical understanding of human haptic learning.
