About
Marc Troch is a rehabilitation scientist whose research focuses on advancing locomotor recovery and exercise physiology in individuals with neurological injury, particularly stroke survivors. His key contributions center on the intersection of robotic rehabilitation and aerobic exercise, exploring how assistive technologies can enable cardiovascular training in populations with limited mobility. In his most cited work, "Robot-Assisted Overground Walking: Physiological Responses and Perceived Exertion in Nonambulatory Stroke Survivors" (2019, 8 citations), Troch demonstrated that robot-assisted overground walking can elicit meaningful aerobic exercise intensity in nonambulatory stroke patients, challenging assumptions about the limits of exercise in this group. This study provides critical evidence for integrating robotic devices into cardiovascular rehabilitation protocols. Troch’s work bridges the gap between assistive robotics and exercise science, offering practical insights for clinicians designing training programs for severely impaired individuals. By quantifying physiological responses and perceived exertion, he has laid groundwork for more personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation strategies. His research is particularly valuable for students and clinicians interested in neurorehabilitation, exercise physiology, and the therapeutic potential of robotic exoskeletons for improving health outcomes in stroke survivors.
