About
Nicoleta Pop is a leading researcher in the field of robotic-assisted rehabilitation, with a focus on developing and optimizing parallel robotic systems for neuromotor recovery. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, addressing motor deficits in stroke survivors and neurological disease patients through innovative robotic interventions. Pop’s most cited study, “Comparative Assessment of Robotic versus Classical Physical Therapy” (29 citations), demonstrates the superior efficacy of robotic systems in improving muscle strength and range of motion. She is also the driving force behind the ASPIRE spherical parallel robot for shoulder rehabilitation, which she optimized based on clinical feedback (25 citations), and the RAISE system for lower limb rehabilitation in acute post-stroke care. Her research extends to using the KUKA LBR Iiwa for ankle rehabilitation (18 citations) and integrating Kinect tracking for user-friendly upper limb exercises. With a portfolio of over 75 cumulative citations, Pop’s contributions are pivotal in advancing rehabilitation robotics, offering scalable, data-driven solutions to overburdened healthcare systems. Her work not only enhances patient outcomes but also sets new standards for human-robot interaction in clinical settings.
