About
Priyanka Vijay is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on developing intuitive human-machine interfaces for individuals with neuromuscular impairments. Her most notable contribution is the development of a sonomyography-based muscle computer interface, which uses ultrasound imaging to decode muscle activity—a groundbreaking alternative to traditional electromyography. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 6 citations, demonstrates significant potential for restoring hand function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), enabling more natural control of robotic assistive devices. Vijay’s research addresses a critical gap in rehabilitation by leveraging the superior spatial resolution of sonomyography to capture deep muscle activity, even in cases of severe impairment. Her work has been recognized for its translational impact, bridging engineering innovation with clinical application. By advancing non-invasive, high-fidelity muscle sensing, Vijay is laying the foundation for next-generation prosthetics and exoskeletons that could dramatically improve quality of life for SCI patients. Her contributions are shaping the future of neurorehabilitation and human-computer interaction.
