About

Tijana Jevtic’s research lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, robotics, and sensory feedback, with a focus on developing affordable, accessible therapies for individuals with neurological impairments. Her major contributions center on the use of focal vibration as a pre-conditioning tool to reduce spasticity and enhance muscle performance, particularly when combined with robotic-assisted movement therapy. In her most-cited work (10 citations), she demonstrated that focal muscle vibration, paired with robotic assistive therapy, can improve upper limb function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury—offering a low-cost, easy-to-use rehabilitation alternative. Her 2015 study (5 citations) established a novel protocol for integrating vibro-tactile stimulation with robotic rehabilitation to augment outcomes for spasticity patients. More recently, Jevtic has explored the use of vibrations for sensory feedback in self-adapting robotic prostheses, investigating how electromyography can track vibration dissipation through muscle tissue to enable real-time adjustments. Her work is notable for bridging engineering innovation with clinical practicality, aiming to make advanced rehabilitation tools more widely available. With a growing citation record, Jevtic is establishing herself as a promising voice in neurorehabilitation engineering.
