About
Rui Moura Coelho is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of biomechanics and medical robotics, with a particular focus on rehabilitation engineering and assistive technologies. Their key research areas include the biomechanical analysis of impaired movement, the development of robotic systems for medical imaging, and the calibration of human-robot interfaces. Coelho’s major contributions are highlighted in their most-cited work, a 2021 study on multivariable passive ankle impedance in stroke patients, which has garnered 5 citations. This preliminary investigation provided critical insights into how stroke alters the mechanical properties of the ankle joint, offering a foundation for designing more effective rehabilitation devices and therapies. More recently, Coelho has ventured into the calibration of robotic ultrasound systems, a 2025 paper that addresses the growing integration of collaborative robots in medical imaging. This work tackles the challenge of enabling robots to move autonomously based on anatomical features, a step toward safer and more precise ultrasound procedures. Though early in their career, Coelho’s research bridges fundamental biomechanics and applied robotics, promising to enhance both clinical diagnostics and post-stroke recovery.
