About
Juan C. Moreno is a prominent biomedical engineer and robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation technology, wearable robotics, and neuroscience. He has made landmark contributions to the development of robotic exoskeletons and assistive devices aimed at restoring motor function in individuals affected by stroke, spinal cord injury, and neuromuscular disorders. His highly cited 2011 review of post-stroke gait rehabilitation (580 citations) laid important conceptual groundwork for integrating brain-computer interfaces and top-down neurological approaches into physical therapy, while his 2014 state-of-the-art survey on lower limb wearable robots (450 citations) became a foundational reference for researchers entering the field. Moreno's clinical work on the H2 robotic exoskeleton (347 citations) demonstrated real-world promise for powered devices in stroke rehabilitation, and his early research on tremor suppression exoskeletons (346 citations) highlighted the breadth of his engineering vision. He has also championed hybrid FES-robotic systems and neuromechanical modeling for voluntary exoskeleton control, consistently bridging engineering innovation with patient-centered outcomes. His growing emphasis on benchmarking methodologies and user-centered design reflects a mature commitment to translating laboratory advances into meaningful clinical impact.
