About
Andrew Nunn is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring mobility for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). His most cited work, the first interim analysis of the RAPPER II trial (2017, 98 citations), investigates the feasibility and safety of the REX self-stabilising robotic exoskeleton for wheelchair users with SCI. This landmark study demonstrated that individuals with complete motor paralysis could safely transfer into and operate the device, marking a critical step toward practical, community-based robotic mobility aids. Nunn’s contributions extend beyond feasibility; his research systematically evaluates how powered walking aids can be integrated with functional exercise programs to improve ambulation, cardiovascular health, and psychological well-being. By bridging engineering and clinical rehabilitation, he has helped define evidence-based protocols for robotic exoskeleton use. His work has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines and inspiring further trials worldwide. With a career dedicated to translating cutting-edge robotics into tangible patient benefits, Nunn continues to influence how researchers and clinicians approach mobility restoration after severe neurological injury.
