Research Interests

Dr. Reissman's primary focus is aimed at developing solutions to help people in need. His research group specializes in the advancement of human-machine interfaces to improve medical and assistive technology. Recent projects include design of mechatronic systems to improve the efficacy of rollator walkers, canes, prostheses and exoskeletons. Likewise, clinical relevance is maintained through collaborations with physical therapy faculty at the University of Dayton, physicians within the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association and medical device designers within local industry. Other research includes the study of coupled systems – whether they be human-machine interfaces or electromechanical / control systems.
