About

Preeti Raghavan is a leading expert in neurorehabilitation, robotics, and motor recovery, with a focus on restoring function in individuals with stroke and movement disorders. Her pioneering work bridges engineering and clinical practice, advancing robotic and telerehabilitation technologies to enhance patient motivation and therapy compliance. Notably, her highly cited paper “The Present and Future of Robotic Technology in Rehabilitation” (172 citations) provides a foundational vision for integrating robotics into clinical care. Raghavan has also developed novel task-specific upper-extremity rehabilitation systems with interactive game-based interfaces, demonstrating how technology can transform stroke recovery. Her research on spastic paresis as a treatable movement disorder (2024) reframes clinical understanding, while her studies on robotic path assistance and weight support (2020) clarify how to facilitate 3D movements poststroke. Additionally, her feasibility study on social interactions in telerehabilitation (2019) highlights the critical role of motivation in remote therapy. With over 200 citations across her most-cited works, Raghavan’s contributions are shaping the future of accessible, engaging, and effective rehabilitation. Her work continues to inspire students and clinicians to harness technology for meaningful motor recovery.
