About
Dr. A.J. del Ama-Espinosa is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on robotic exoskeletons for gait recovery in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her most cited work, "Terapia robótica con el exoesqueleto H2 en la rehabilitación de la marcha en pacientes con lesión medular incompleta. Una experiencia clínica" (2020, 6 citations), details a pioneering clinical trial using the H2 exoskeleton to restore walking function in incomplete SCI patients. This research demonstrated significant improvements in gait kinematics and muscle activation, establishing a foundation for integrating robotic therapy into standard rehabilitation protocols. Dr. del Ama-Espinosa's contributions extend beyond technical development; she has rigorously evaluated the H2 system's safety, efficacy, and user experience, bridging engineering and clinical practice. Her work has been cited in reviews of robotic gait training, underscoring its influence on the field. By advancing accessible, evidence-based robotic interventions, she is helping to transform mobility outcomes for individuals with neurological injuries, making her a key voice in the future of assistive technology.
