Our research focusses mainly on the technology-based research to enhance upper extremity function. We're developing innovative solutions with physiotherapy techniques/exercise to empower individuals with upper limb disabilities, improving their independence and overall quality of life.

The focus is also towards the application of technology for improving balance & gait and provide tools and interventions that enhance mobility and stability, ultimately restoring confidence in movement.

The other research areas are Improving Oro-motor & Sensory function in children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD), which empower these children to communicate and engage more effectively, offering hope and support.
