About
Dr. Robyn Coman is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of haptic technology, rehabilitation engineering, and human sensorimotor control. Her work centers on developing novel soft haptic biofeedback systems to restore proprioception and postural balance in individuals with neurological impairments, particularly those recovering from stroke. In her landmark 2022 pilot study, "Novel Soft Haptic Biofeedback—Pilot Study on Postural Balance and Proprioception," Dr. Coman demonstrated how wearable, compliant haptic interfaces can effectively substitute lost sensory information, enabling targeted muscle coordination and improved balance control. This foundational work, already garnering 8 citations, has opened new pathways for non-invasive, low-cost rehabilitation tools. Her contributions are especially notable for bridging soft robotics with clinical neurorehabilitation, offering a gentle yet powerful means to retrain the nervous system. Dr. Coman’s research holds transformative potential for stroke survivors and others with sensory deficits, promising to enhance quality of life through accessible, wearable technology that restores a fundamental sense of body awareness.
