About
Alberto Esquenazi is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, with a distinguished career focused on robotic-assisted mobility restoration, gait rehabilitation, and the clinical application of emerging technologies for individuals with neurological injuries. His research has profoundly shaped how clinicians approach walking recovery in populations affected by stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and spastic paresis. Esquenazi's most impactful work includes the multi-site clinical trial of the ReWalk ReStore™ soft robotic exosuit, which has garnered 176 citations and demonstrated the safety and feasibility of exosuit-augmented post-stroke gait rehabilitation — a landmark contribution to wearable rehabilitation technology. His comparative studies on robotic versus manually assisted treadmill training in TBI patients, along with investigations using systems like the Lokomat and G-EO, have helped establish evidence-based frameworks for locomotor therapy selection. Beyond individual trials, Esquenazi co-founded the Advanced Robotic Therapy Integrated Centers (ARTIC) international network, advancing collaborative rehabilitation robotics research globally. His conceptual work reframing spastic paresis as a treatable movement disorder further illustrates his commitment to shifting clinical paradigms. Collectively, his publications have accumulated hundreds of citations, cementing his reputation as an essential voice in modern rehabilitation medicine.
