About
Edeny Baaklini is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and spinal cord injury, whose work is redefining how we restore movement after paralysis. Her primary research areas include spinal cord neuromodulation, rehabilitation robotics, and activity-dependent neuroplasticity. Baaklini’s most significant contribution is her proof-of-concept study demonstrating that augmenting robotic rehabilitation with targeted spinal cord stimulation can dramatically enhance motor recovery in individuals with paralysis. By integrating implantable neurostimulation with robotic exoskeletons, she showed that this combined approach promotes greater neural reorganization than either therapy alone—a breakthrough that addresses a critical limitation of conventional robot-assisted therapy. Her work, already garnering 13 citations shortly after publication, has been recognized for its translational potential and innovative design. Baaklini’s research not only advances our fundamental understanding of how the injured spinal cord can be retrained but also offers a tangible pathway toward more effective, personalized rehabilitation strategies for people living with paralysis.
