About

Vasiliki Fiska is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of wearable robotics and neurorehabilitation, dedicated to restoring motor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and other neurological impairments. Her most impactful work centers on the development and validation of the NeuroSuitUp platform, a groundbreaking body-machine interface that integrates a wearable robotics jacket and soft robotic gloves with a serious game application. This system, detailed in her 2023 paper (13 citations), enables self-paced, engaging neurorehabilitation designed to promote dormant neuroplasticity. Fiska’s contributions extend to rigorous clinical protocols, including a nonrandomized controlled trial (2022, 8 citations) that outlines a synergistic man-machine approach to rehabilitation. Her recent 2025 study (7 citations) further validates soft robotic gloves for sensorimotor hand function recovery, showcasing her commitment to translating cutting-edge technology into tangible patient benefits. With a growing citation impact, Fiska’s work is not only advancing the field of assistive robotics but also offering new hope for long-term disability recovery, making her a key figure in modern neurorehabilitation engineering.
