About
Shane Forbrigger is a leading voice in the development of accessible, at-home rehabilitation technologies for stroke survivors. His research sits at the intersection of mechatronics, robotics, and human-centered design, with a primary focus on upper-limb stroke rehabilitation. Forbrigger’s major contributions include identifying the critical challenges and opportunities in home-based rehabilitation mechatronics (23 citations), and crucially, centering the perspectives of both stroke survivors and therapists to ensure that technology meets real-world needs (11 citations). His work extends to the technical domain of control systems, where he has addressed complex problems like adaptive robust control for teleoperated robots with arbitrary time delays (9 citations). Most recently, Forbrigger has advanced the field by designing and prototyping a cable-driven parallel robot specifically for at-home upper extremity rehabilitation (3 citations, 2025), directly translating stakeholder insights into functional hardware. He has also contributed to the broader field of collaborative robotics through a comprehensive survey on planning and control (5 citations, 2024). By bridging rigorous engineering with deep stakeholder engagement, Forbrigger is shaping a future where effective, personalized rehabilitation is accessible beyond the clinic.
