About
Alberto Plaza is a leading researcher in the field of wearable robotic exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation, with a particular focus on pediatric and neurological populations. His work centers on the development and clinical validation of assist-as-needed portable exoskeletons, aiming to restore mobility and improve quality of life for patients with conditions such as cerebral palsy (CP), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), stroke, and acquired brain injury. Plaza’s major contributions include the design and testing of the ATLAS2030 pediatric gait exoskeleton, which has shown promising results in improving range of motion, strength, and spasticity in children with CP, as well as the STELO, a modular device for acquired brain injury. His proof-of-concept study on a lower limb exoskeleton for neurological patients has garnered 59 citations, underscoring its impact. Through systematic reviews and case studies, Plaza has demonstrated the safety, usability, and adaptability of these devices, with his work collectively cited over 160 times. His research not only advances robotic rehabilitation technology but also paves the way for home-based therapy, as seen in his activity tolerance case study for SMA. Plaza’s dedication to bridging engineering and clinical practice makes him a pivotal figure in modern neurorehabilitation.
