About

Ai Muroi is a pioneering researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on the clinical application of robotic exoskeletons for individuals with neurological and motor impairments. Her most cited work, "Feasibility and safety of Robot Suit HAL treatment for adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy" (2019, 26 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, Muroi demonstrated that the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) robot suit can be safely and effectively used to improve mobility in patients with cerebral palsy—a population often overlooked in robotic rehabilitation trials. This research has opened new avenues for non-invasive, technology-driven therapy, offering hope for enhanced gait function and quality of life. Beyond this, Muroi’s broader work explores the intersection of human-robot interaction and neurorehabilitation, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes and real-world feasibility. Her findings have been instrumental in advancing the clinical translation of wearable robotic devices, influencing both therapeutic protocols and device design. With a growing citation impact, Muroi is recognized as a key figure in bridging engineering innovation with practical rehabilitation, making her research essential reading for students and clinicians interested in the future of assistive technology.
