About

Dr. Muhammad Umair Ahmad Khan is a biomedical engineer specializing in rehabilitation robotics and haptic-enabled medical systems. His research focuses on developing assistive technologies that restore motor function and enhance clinical diagnostics. His most cited work, "Pneumatic artificial muscle-based stroke rehabilitation device for upper and lower limbs" (2023, 18 citations), introduces a novel soft robotic system that uses pneumatic artificial muscles to deliver safe, compliant therapy for stroke survivors, addressing a critical need for affordable, home-based rehabilitation. This contribution bridges the gap between traditional rigid exoskeletons and flexible, patient-friendly designs. More recently, his 2025 paper on a "haptic-enabled telerobotic system for improved ultrasonography" pioneers remote palpation feedback, allowing clinicians to feel tissue stiffness during tele-ultrasound—a breakthrough for rural healthcare access. Dr. Khan’s work is notable for its translational impact, combining mechanical design with user-centered clinical validation. His growing citation record reflects the relevance of his innovations in neurorehabilitation and telemedicine, positioning him as an emerging leader in soft robotics for healthcare.
