About
Chandan Patel is a researcher focused on neurorehabilitation, particularly the use of robotic-assisted locomotor training to improve motor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). His work centers on understanding how robotic devices, such as the LOKOMAT, can reduce spasticity, enhance volitional control, and restore neuromuscular properties in the lower limbs. In his most cited study (20 citations), Patel demonstrated that LOKOMAT training significantly improves spastic ankle control in incomplete SCI patients, offering a non-pharmacological approach to motor recovery. A second influential paper (11 citations) further quantified gains in muscle strength and neuromuscular properties, establishing a foundation for robot-assisted therapy protocols. His multivariate analysis (4 citations) explored the combined effects of LOKOMAT and Tizanidine, revealing synergistic benefits for gait recovery. Patel’s contributions are notable for bridging robotics and clinical rehabilitation, providing evidence that repetitive, task-specific training can drive neuroplastic changes. His work has practical implications for designing more effective, personalized rehabilitation programs, and his findings continue to inform both clinical practice and the development of next-generation assistive technologies.
