About

Aaron Fleming is a leading researcher in neural control and wearable robotics, with a focus on restoring natural movement for individuals with lower-limb amputations. His work centers on myoelectric control, neuromuscular interfaces, and the design of intelligent prostheses and exoskeletons that respond to user intent. Fleming’s major contributions include pioneering electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal models for volitional control of robotic ankle prostheses, enabling users to adapt to non-cyclic tasks. He has also demonstrated that neural prosthesis control can restore near-normative neuromechanics in standing postural balance, a critical advancement for amputee stability. His research on powered hip exoskeletons shows that abduction/adduction assistance can modulate step width during walking, enhancing mediolateral balance. With over 280 citations across his most-cited works—including a highly influential review on myoelectric control (209 citations)—Fleming’s impact is substantial. His 2023 study on neural prosthesis control for standing postural control represents a breakthrough in restoring natural balance. Fleming’s work bridges engineering and rehabilitation, offering transformative solutions for amputee mobility and quality of life.
