About
Naima Z. Farhane‐Medina is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and health technology. Her primary focus lies in evaluating how advanced therapeutic interventions—specifically robot-assisted therapy (RAT) and virtual reality (VR)—impact the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of neurological patients. Her most cited work, a 2023 systematic review, critically examines whether combining RAT with VR yields superior HRQoL outcomes compared to using RAT alone. This seminal paper, which has garnered 34 citations, provides essential evidence for clinicians and technologists designing more effective, patient-centered rehabilitation protocols. By centering the patient’s subjective well-being alongside motor recovery, Farhane‐Medina’s research bridges a critical gap in neurorehabilitation, ensuring that technological advances translate into meaningful improvements in daily living. Her contributions are vital for students and researchers seeking to understand how emerging technologies can be optimized to enhance both functional and emotional recovery in neurological populations.
