Eveline Graf

Prof. Dr. Eveline Graf is a Professor of Physiotherapy at the ZHAW School of Health Sciences, where she leads the Movement Laboratory and the Key Research Area Technologies and Digitalisation in Physiotherapy. She also teaches Biomechanics and Project Management in both BSc and MSc physiotherapy programs.

• PhD in Kinesiology/Biomechanics (University of Calgary, 2012)
• MSc in Human Movement Sciences/Biomechanics (ETH Zurich, 2007)
• CAS in Usability and User Experience (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, 2021)

Her research focuses on biomechanics, wearable robotics, and digitalization in physiotherapy, particularly for neurological rehabilitation and sports injury prevention. She has published extensively on exoskeletons, gait analysis, and ACL injury risk factors in journals like PLOS ONE and Scientific Reports.

Recent publications highlight trends in soft exoskeleton design, exergaming for rehabilitation, and AI-driven prosthetic control. She has co-authored studies on muscle activation patterns, motion tracking technologies, and user acceptance of robotic devices.

She is actively involved in open science initiatives, leading projects like Open Research Data in Swiss Movement Laboratories and MoveD Guidelines for standardized data sharing. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, with a strong emphasis on user-centered design and technology adoption in healthcare.
