About
Eric Fabara is a biomedical and rehabilitation engineer whose research sits at the intersection of robotics, human movement science, and neurological rehabilitation. His work focuses primarily on lower-limb exoskeletons, robotic-assisted therapy, and motor recovery in populations with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, knee osteoarthritis, cerebral palsy, and stroke. Fabara has made significant contributions to the development and clinical evaluation of wearable robotic systems, including pioneering work on impedance control and transparent operation modes that allow patients to move more naturally during exoskeleton-assisted gait training. His 2021 studies on MS and knee osteoarthritis — each garnering 24 citations — demonstrated meaningful clinical efficacy of lower-extremity exoskeletons in real-world and home settings, helping to legitimize these technologies for broader therapeutic use. His trajectory-tracking impedance controller work (20 citations) has advanced the technical foundations of overground walking rehabilitation. More recently, Fabara has explored how muscle synergy analysis could explain variable outcomes in robot-assisted gait training for children with cerebral palsy, reflecting a growing interest in personalizing rehabilitation strategies. Across his body of work, Fabara bridges engineering innovation with clinical application, advancing the science of mobility restoration.
