About

Faith Meza is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the application of overground robotic exoskeletons for gait recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work directly addresses a critical gap in rehabilitation science: determining the optimal dosing and neurophysiological mechanisms of robotic gait training (RGT). Meza’s landmark randomized control trial, published in 2025 and already garnering 9 citations, demonstrated the efficacy of RGT during inpatient rehabilitation for individuals with incomplete SCI, providing compelling evidence for its clinical integration. Complementing this, her 2024 protocol paper (4 citations) lays the rigorous methodological groundwork for future studies, systematically investigating how varying doses of RGT influence functional outcomes and neural plasticity. By moving beyond proof-of-concept to dose-response research, Meza is shaping evidence-based standards for robotic rehabilitation, directly impacting clinical practice and patient recovery trajectories. Her work is essential reading for clinicians and scientists seeking to translate cutting-edge exoskeleton technology into effective, personalized therapies for spinal cord injury.
