About
Varadhan SKM is a researcher at the intersection of motor control, rehabilitation robotics, and human-machine interaction. His work primarily focuses on understanding and improving hand function and posture, with key contributions in three areas: haptic feedback for postural training, hand synergy analysis, and biomimetic prosthetic design. He developed the Posture Similarity Index, a novel method for comparing hand postures in synergy space that has been cited in robotics and neuroscience contexts. His research on haptic feedback systems for postural adaptation during upper-limb rehabilitation offers an alternative to traditional trunk constraints, with potential applications for stroke recovery. Varadhan has also investigated the distinct role of peripheral fingers in object stabilization during grasping, contributing to our understanding of hand biomechanics. His work on underactuated finger design takes a minimalistic approach toward biomimetic prosthetic fingers, addressing the need for simpler, more functional prosthetic hands. With over 30 citations across his publications, including work on EMG signal detection for stroke rehabilitation, Varadhan's research bridges fundamental motor control principles with practical applications in rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology.
