About
Orestis N. Zestas is a rising researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the development of innovative assistive technologies for post-stroke recovery. His work uniquely integrates exoskeletal aids with augmented reality (AR) to address upper limb impairment and spasticity, directly targeting the restoration of hand function and activities of daily living. In his most cited pilot randomized control study (2025, 4 citations), Zestas introduced the "Rehabotics" system—a novel combination of a wearable exoskeleton and AR-based games designed to enhance motor learning and engagement during rehabilitation. This early work demonstrates his commitment to creating accessible, patient-centered tools that bridge engineering and clinical practice. By focusing on the critical window of post-stroke recovery, Zestas is contributing to a paradigm shift from passive therapy to interactive, data-driven rehabilitation. His research holds promise for improving functional outcomes and quality of life for stroke survivors, establishing him as a forward-thinking voice in the field of rehabilitation robotics and human-machine interaction.
