About
Dr. Sofia Martinez Gomez is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focus on restoring upper limb function after stroke. Her work bridges the gap between clinical assessment and robotic technology, developing objective, instrumented tools to quantify motor impairment. Her most-cited study, “Influence of Arm Weight Support on a Robotic Assessment of Upper Limb Function” (2018, 8 citations), critically examines how arm weight support affects the Virtual Peg Insertion Test (VPIT), a robotic assessment that emulates daily manipulation tasks. By demonstrating that support conditions can skew functional metrics, Dr. Martinez Gomez has helped refine protocols for more accurate, real-world evaluations of recovery. This contribution is vital for clinicians and engineers designing personalized rehabilitation strategies. Her research is foundational for advancing robotic assessments that are both sensitive and ecologically valid, directly impacting how motor recovery is monitored and therapeutic interventions are evaluated. With a growing citation footprint, Dr. Martinez Gomez is shaping the future of evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
