About
Piyashi Biswas is a researcher focused on the intersection of sensorimotor control and neurorehabilitation, with a particular emphasis on how proprioceptive deficits affect motor function after stroke. Her work centers on understanding the complex relationship between ankle proprioception—the body's ability to sense joint position and movement—and gait recovery in stroke survivors. Using robotic assessment tools, Biswas has made significant contributions by challenging established assumptions in the field. Her most-cited studies, including "The Weak Relationship Between Ankle Proprioception and Gait Speed After Stroke: A Robotic Assessment Study" (2025, 2 citations), demonstrate that while ankle proprioceptive deficits are common after stroke and occur independently of motor impairments, their correlation with gait speed is surprisingly weak. This finding has important implications for rehabilitation strategies, suggesting that somatosensory input may not be as critical for gait control as previously thought. With her innovative use of robotic technology for precise, objective measurement, Biswas is helping to refine our understanding of post-stroke recovery mechanisms. Her work is particularly valuable for clinicians and researchers developing targeted interventions for gait rehabilitation, as it highlights the need to consider multiple factors beyond proprioception when addressing walking impairments after neurological injury.
