About
Nicolas Gandar is a researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, and serious gaming, with a focus on post-stroke motor recovery. His most-cited work, "Detecting Compensatory Motions and Providing Informative Feedback During a Tangible Robot Assisted Game for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation" (2021, 10 citations), addresses a critical challenge in gamified therapy: while interactive systems boost patient engagement and motivation, they can inadvertently allow compensatory, or "parasite," movements that undermine rehabilitation efficacy. Gandar’s major contribution lies in developing methods to detect these undesirable motions in real time and deliver informative feedback, ensuring that playful exercises remain therapeutically valid. This work exemplifies his broader effort to design tangible, robot-assisted platforms that balance freedom of movement with clinical rigor. With a growing citation footprint, Gandar’s research is shaping how engineers and clinicians think about feedback-driven rehabilitation, offering a pathway to more effective, patient-centered recovery tools. His achievements highlight a commitment to translating robotic technologies into practical, engaging solutions for neurological rehabilitation.
