About
Lee Stoner is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and vascular health, with a focus on robotic-assisted gait training for individuals with chronic stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). His work bridges the gap between cutting-edge rehabilitation technology and cardiovascular physiology, exploring how overground robotic exoskeletons—such as the AlterG Bionic Leg—can improve both functional mobility and central vascular outcomes. Stoner’s most cited study, a randomized controlled trial published in 2020 (58 citations), demonstrated that home-based robotic-assisted gait training combined with usual physiotherapy significantly enhances clinical functional outcomes in chronic stroke survivors. He further extended this work with a pilot study (21 citations) showing that short-term exoskeleton training can positively impact central hemodynamic measures in individuals with SCI, a population at high risk for cardiovascular decline. His 2023 study (4 citations) specifically examined vascular health improvements from home-based robotic training in stroke patients. Stoner’s research is notable for its community-based, translational approach, bringing high-tech rehabilitation directly into patients’ homes. His protocol paper (2017) outlines a rigorous framework for future trials, underscoring his commitment to evidence-based, accessible neurorehabilitation. With a growing citation record, Stoner is shaping how clinicians and researchers think about the dual benefits of robotic gait training: restoring movement while protecting vascular health.
