About
Dr. Rizhao Pang is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise on the application of lower limb walking exoskeletons for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). His work centers on restoring function and improving quality of life for individuals with motor-complete SCI, a population with profound mobility challenges. Dr. Pang’s major contributions include conducting rigorous clinical trials that demonstrate the tangible benefits of exoskeleton-assisted walking. His most cited 2023 randomized controlled trial (12 citations) provided critical evidence that exoskeleton use enhances activities of daily living and overall quality of life. He has further expanded this research to explore novel physiological impacts, such as a 2024 pilot study (5 citations) investigating how exoskeleton-assisted walking improves bowel function through the brain–gut axis—a pioneering look at underlying mechanisms. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 20 for his key works, Dr. Pang is establishing himself as a pivotal figure in translating robotic technology into meaningful, evidence-based rehabilitation strategies, pushing the boundaries of what is possible for SCI recovery.
