About
Anna Sajin is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in robotic-assisted gait training for patients with neurological disorders. Her work focuses on restoring locomotor function in individuals recovering from stroke and managing multiple sclerosis (MS). Sajin’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the effectiveness of early and prolonged robotic-assisted gait therapy, particularly using the Lokomat device, to improve functional outcomes in subacute stroke patients. Her seminal 2009 randomized controlled trial, cited over 211 times, established that early intervention with robotic training significantly enhances walking ability and recovery trajectories. She further extended this research to MS patients, with a 2011 randomized trial (96 citations) showing that robot-assisted body weight-supported treadmill training preserves mobility and gait function, a critical goal for maintaining independence in progressive neurological conditions. Sajin’s work has shaped clinical protocols for locomotor therapy, bridging engineering and rehabilitation to offer evidence-based, technology-driven solutions. Her studies are widely referenced in guidelines for stroke and MS rehabilitation, underscoring her impact on improving patient quality of life through innovative, data-backed interventions.
