About

Dr. Monika Mioskowska is a leading researcher in occupational biomechanics and wearable assistive technology, with a focus on mitigating musculoskeletal disorders in physically demanding industries. Her most-cited work, "Wearable Knee Assistive Devices for Kneeling Tasks in Construction" (2021, 53 citations), addresses the critical issue of knee injuries among construction workers who frequently perform kneeling, crawling, and squatting tasks. This paper introduces lightweight, wearable sensing and assistive devices designed to reduce knee strain and prevent long-term conditions like osteoarthritis. Dr. Mioskowska's contributions bridge the gap between ergonomics and engineering, offering practical solutions that enhance worker safety and productivity. Her research has significant implications for occupational health, particularly in construction and other labor-intensive sectors, where prolonged awkward postures are common. By developing accessible, sensor-integrated assistive devices, she is advancing the field of wearable robotics and injury prevention. Dr. Mioskowska's work is widely recognized for its direct impact on improving quality of life for workers, with her citation count reflecting the growing importance of her contributions to both academia and industry.
