About
Paul F. Pasquina is a leading figure in military rehabilitation medicine and advanced prosthetics research, whose career has been defined by bridging cutting-edge engineering with clinical care for wounded service members and amputees. His landmark 2014 study — the first-in-man demonstration of a fully implanted myoelectric sensor system controlling an advanced electromechanical prosthetic hand — garnered over 200 citations and represented a watershed moment in human-machine interfacing. Pasquina has consistently advanced the field through work on osseointegrated prosthetic arms, pattern recognition-based limb control, and bioelectric prostheses, collectively addressing the persistent challenges of comfort, intuitive control, and functional restoration that limit current devices. His 2006 review of amputee care (87 citations) remains a foundational reference, while his more recent contributions explore wearable robots for military rehabilitation and musculoskeletal injury prevention. With deep ties to the U.S. Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs, Pasquina has championed translational research that moves innovations from laboratory to patient. His body of work reflects a career dedicated to restoring function, independence, and quality of life for those who have sustained limb loss in service to their country.
