About

Nicole Wenderoth is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and sensorimotor neuroscience, with a focus on developing intelligent technologies to restore upper limb function after stroke. Her work bridges engineering, neuroscience, and clinical practice, particularly through the design of wearable robotic exoskeletons for unsupervised home-based training. Her 2020 paper on a fully portable wrist exoskeleton (63 citations) demonstrates her commitment to accessible, decentralized therapy—a vision further articulated in her 2021 work on technology-supported remote neurorehabilitation (51 citations). Wenderoth’s foundational research also explores the neural basis of somatosensory discrimination, using fMRI to map frontoparietal networks involved in passive shape and length perception in both healthy individuals and stroke patients (2005, 61 citations; 2012, 33 citations). Her recent TAILOR platform study (2023) aims to develop digital biomarkers for upper limb recovery in Asian stroke survivors, reflecting her global, patient-centered approach. With over 150 publications and a strong translational impact, Wenderoth is shaping the future of scalable, data-driven neurorehabilitation.
