About
Hiroyuki Fukuda is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, with a focus on restoring motor function after stroke, orthopedic surgery, and neurological disorders. His work centers on the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), a wearable exoskeleton that supports and enhances voluntary movement. Fukuda has pioneered combined therapies, such as integrating botulinum toxin A injections with HAL training to reduce spasticity and improve upper-limb function in chronic stroke patients, as demonstrated in his most-cited paper (48 citations). He has also shown the feasibility of tailor-made, multi-robot rehabilitation for acute stroke (42 citations) and early recovery after total knee arthroplasty (34 citations). His research extends to home-based robotic therapy, proving effective even in the chronic phase of stroke (28 citations), and to spine surgery recovery. With over 190 cumulative citations, Fukuda’s work is instrumental in advancing personalized, robot-assisted rehabilitation, offering new hope for patients with severe motor impairments. His systematic reviews and case series further underscore his commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered innovation in neurorehabilitation.
