The book brings together engineers and clinicians, offers insights into healthcare disparities, and highlights potential solutions to facilitate the availability and accessibility of more robot systems to stroke survivors and their clinicians worldwide, regardless of country and economic status.In addition, the book provides examples on how robotic technology is used to bridge rehabilitation gaps in LMICs and describes potential strategies for increasing the expansion of robot-assisted stroke rehabilitation across more LMICs.
- Provides a global picture of robot-assisted neurorehabilitation
- Describes stroke healthcare in selected LMICs and selected HICs, along with disparity issues
- Discusses potential barriers to the penetration of rehabilitation robots into LMICs
- Presents concrete examples on how clinicians and engineers have begun to address healthcare gaps with rehabilitation robotics and how to deal with accessibility barriers

Michelle Jillian Johnson
Her research is mainly in robot-mediated neurorehabilitation. She is focused on the investigation and rehabilitation of dysfunction due to aging, neural disease, and neural injury. She is particularly interested in 1) exploring the relationships between brain plasticity and behavioral/motor control changes after robot-assisted interventions; 2) quantifying motor impairment and motor control of the upper limb in real world tasks such as drinking; and 3) defining the methods to maintain therapeutic effectiveness while administering local and remote, robot-mediated interventions.
She directs the Rehabilitation Robotics Lab. This is a new Lab within the Department of Physical, Medicine, and Rehabilitation in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The Rehabilitation Robotics Lab mission is to use robotics, rehabilitation, and neuroscience techniques to translate research findings into the development of assistive and therapeutic rehabilitation robots capable of functioning in real-world rehabilitation environments. The goal is to improve the quality of life and function on activities of daily living (ADLs) of our target population in supervised or under-supervised settings.
