About
Belgin Erhan is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on stroke recovery and the application of robotic technologies to improve patient outcomes. Her most impactful work centers on evaluating the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) compared to conventional therapy. In her landmark 2020 single-blinded, randomized controlled trial—cited 69 times—she demonstrated that RAGT significantly enhances mobility, activities of daily living, and quality of life in stroke survivors, providing robust evidence for its clinical adoption. She has also explored the broader implications of rehabilitation, notably in a 2020 study examining caregiver burden, which revealed that RAGT may reduce strain on families compared to standard care. Erhan’s contributions are pivotal in bridging engineering and clinical practice, offering data-driven insights that shape modern stroke rehabilitation protocols. Her work not only advances therapeutic techniques but also underscores the importance of patient-centered outcomes, making her a key figure in the ongoing evolution of neurorehabilitation.
