About
Eldin Smajic is a leading figure in rehabilitation robotics, with his most impactful work centered on the development and application of the LOKOMAT system. His research focuses on integrating advanced robotic gait training with immersive virtual environments to enhance motor recovery for patients with spinal cord injuries and stroke. Smajic’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how real-time biofeedback—through visual and acoustic cues—can significantly boost patient motivation and engagement during robotic-assisted therapy. His seminal 2007 paper, which introduced the virtual environment setup for the LOKOMAT at Balgrist University Hospital, has garnered 18 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field. By bridging robotics and neurorehabilitation, Smajic has helped pioneer more interactive, patient-centered approaches to gait retraining. His work continues to influence the design of rehabilitation technologies, offering a compelling model for how virtual reality can transform recovery outcomes.
