About
Armand Hoxha is a researcher at the forefront of neural engineering and rehabilitation, specializing in the cortical control of human locomotion. His work primarily explores how the brain communicates with muscles during walking, with a particular focus on individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). Hoxha’s major contributions lie in using mobile electroencephalography (EEG) to study cortico-muscular connectivity (CMC) in real-world, dynamic settings—moving beyond traditional stationary experiments. In his pioneering 2022 study, he demonstrated that CMC patterns differ between able-bodied individuals and those with iSCI, and crucially, that powered exoskeleton walking robots (EWR) can modulate these neural signals. His earlier 2017 pilot work laid the foundation by showing that brain activity varies across walking phases, a mechanism disrupted after injury. Though his most cited papers each hold 2 citations, their impact is significant within the niche field of mobile brain imaging for gait rehabilitation, offering early but critical evidence for closed-loop neuroprosthetics. Hoxha’s research is a vital step toward restoring natural, brain-controlled walking in clinical populations.
