About
Dr. Naoki Kise is a leading researcher in rehabilitative robotics and orthopaedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on the clinical application of exoskeleton technology for post-surgical recovery. His most cited work centers on the **Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL)**, a wearable robotic suit designed to enhance gait rehabilitation. In a pivotal 2020 study (13 citations), Dr. Kise demonstrated that HAL training significantly improves restricted hip extension following total hip arthroplasty (THA), offering a novel, robot-assisted pathway to overcome the limitations of conventional physiotherapy. By targeting patients who underwent THA via the posterior approach, his research provides critical evidence that robotic support can restore natural gait patterns and functional mobility more effectively than standard care. Dr. Kise’s contributions bridge the gap between advanced mechatronics and clinical orthopaedics, establishing HAL as a viable tool for accelerating recovery and reducing long-term disability. His work not only highlights the therapeutic potential of wearable robots but also sets a foundation for future studies in neurorehabilitation and joint replacement outcomes.
