About
S. Puornajaf is a researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focus on restoring mobility in stroke survivors through wearable technologies. Their work centers on the integration of surface electromyography (sEMG) with powered exoskeletons to enhance gait recovery in sub-acute stroke patients. In a key 2018 study, Puornajaf demonstrated how sEMG signals can be used for fine-tuning exoskeleton assistance, enabling more adaptive and patient-specific rehabilitation. This preliminary work, cited 5 times, laid the groundwork for personalized robotic therapy that bridges neural control and mechanical support. By combining real-time muscle activity monitoring with exoskeleton actuation, Puornajaf’s contributions address a critical gap in post-stroke motor recovery—promoting neuroplasticity while reducing therapist burden. Their research holds promise for translating robotic rehabilitation from clinical settings to home-based care, potentially improving long-term functional outcomes. Puornajaf’s work continues to inspire innovations in human-robot interaction and sensor-driven rehabilitation protocols.
