About

Panagiotis Gkrilias is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focused expertise in developing assistive technologies for post-stroke recovery. His work centers on the intersection of robotics, augmented reality (AR), and motor learning to restore upper limb function in individuals with spasticity. Gkrilias’s most notable contribution is the introduction of "Rehabotics," an innovative exoskeletal aid integrated with AR-based therapeutic games, designed to enhance engagement and functional outcomes in stroke rehabilitation. His pilot randomized control study, which has already garnered early citations, demonstrated significant improvements in hand function and activities of daily living (ADLs), marking a critical step toward accessible, technology-driven therapy. By combining biomechanical support with immersive gamification, Gkrilias addresses the dual challenges of neuroplasticity and patient motivation. His work is rapidly gaining attention in the rehabilitation robotics community, with his flagship paper accumulating 4 citations within its first year—a strong indicator of its emerging impact. Gkrilias’s research promises to redefine standards of care for stroke survivors, offering a scalable, evidence-based tool for clinicians and a beacon of hope for patients regaining independence.
