About
Hiroki Ohashi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery and rehabilitation engineering. His work spans two transformative domains: developing robotic digital subtraction angiography (DSA) systems for hybrid operating rooms, and creating assistive robotic technologies for gait rehabilitation. Ohashi's landmark 2011 paper on robotic DSA systems, with 74 citations, established foundational knowledge for integrating advanced imaging into surgical environments—a contribution that continues to influence neurosurgical and vascular procedures. In rehabilitation, he leads the development of high-dorsiflexion assistive robotic technology using McKibben-type artificial muscles, targeting stroke patients with hemiplegia. His research systematically addresses critical gait phases: swing-phase foot clearance and heel rocker function during loading response. Notably, his 2018 work on dorsiflexion assistance (17 citations) and subsequent studies on assistance timing and spring coefficient identification demonstrate a methodical approach to optimizing robotic orthoses. Ohashi's recent 2023 paper on intraoperative cone-beam CT for spinal pedicle screw placement shows his continued innovation in surgical robotics. His cumulative work, with over 120 total citations, bridges surgical precision and rehabilitation efficacy, offering practical solutions that enhance both operative outcomes and patient recovery.
