Robotic Exoskeletons Improve Motor Function in Adolescents With Acquired Brain Injury

(News Medical Life Sciences) – A team of New Jersey researchers has shown that gait training using robotic exoskeletons improved motor function in adolescents and young adults with acquired brain injury.

The article, “Kinetic gait changes after robotic exoskeleton training in adolescents and young adults with acquired brain injury”, was published October 28, 2020 in Applied Bionics and Biomechanics.

The authors are Kiran Karunakaran, PhD, Naphtaly Ehrenberg, MS, and Karen Nolan, PhD, from the Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation, and JenFu Cheng, MD, and Katherine Bentley, MD, from Children’s Specialized Hospital.

Drs. Karunakaran, Nolan, Cheng, and Bentley are also affiliated with the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. CONTINUE
