About
Alain Kaelin-Lang is a leading neurologist and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of movement disorders, neurorehabilitation, and neuroplasticity. His primary research focuses on understanding and treating spasticity and motor dysfunction following central nervous system lesions, particularly after stroke or in conditions like multiple sclerosis. A major contribution is his pioneering investigation into the feasibility of combining botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) injections with robotic hand orthosis therapy for upper-limb spasticity. His 2024 pilot study on this adjunct therapy, which has already garnered 3 citations, addresses a critical clinical challenge: performing effective physical therapy after BoNT-A when residual weakness limits traditional approaches. By demonstrating that robotic orthoses can safely and effectively extend the therapeutic window post-injection, Kaelin-Lang has opened new avenues for personalized neurorehabilitation. His work is notable for its translational focus, bridging basic neurophysiology with practical, technology-driven interventions. For students and researchers, his career exemplifies how rigorous clinical research can directly improve patient outcomes in complex neurological conditions.
