About
Samiah Alqabbani is a rising researcher in pediatric rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in applying robotic-assisted therapy to improve mobility and quality of life for children with neurological conditions, particularly cerebral palsy. Her most cited work, a 2024 pilot study, investigates the effect of six-week robot-assisted ankle training on lower extremity strength, mobility, and life habits in children with cerebral palsy. This study addresses a critical clinical challenge: children with cerebral palsy often suffer from weak ankle muscles and reduced dorsiflexion, leading to significant activity limitations. By leveraging robotic ankle training—which facilitates high-repetition, targeted exercises—Alqabbani’s research demonstrates a promising, evidence-based approach to enhancing muscle function and daily living skills. Her contributions are notable for bridging the gap between advanced rehabilitation technology and practical, patient-centered outcomes. With 2 citations already for this recent pilot, her work is gaining attention in the fields of pediatric physiotherapy and assistive robotics. Alqabbani’s research holds strong potential to inform future clinical protocols and inspire larger-scale trials, positioning her as an emerging voice in neurorehabilitation engineering.
