About
Sana Raouafi is a researcher at the forefront of pediatric rehabilitation engineering, specializing in the quantitative assessment of motor impairments in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Her work uniquely integrates surface electromyography (sEMG), inertial measurement units (IMUs), and kinematic analysis to create objective, data-driven evaluation tools for upper limb function. In her foundational 2019 paper, she pioneered a modeling approach to assess motor impairment using these multimodal sensors, while her 2020 study developed a novel composite index to quantify the effects of robot-assisted therapy. Both works, each garnering 6 citations, represent critical steps toward replacing subjective clinical scales with precise, sensor-based metrics. Raouafi’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between robotic rehabilitation technology and clinical assessment, offering a reproducible method to track therapy outcomes. By enabling more accurate, individualized evaluations of motor function, her research holds significant promise for tailoring interventions and improving quality of life for children with CP, establishing her as an emerging leader in the field of assistive and rehabilitative technology.
