About
Dr. John Carlow is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on restoring mobility in individuals with spinal cord injury. His most impactful work centers on the clinical application of robotic exoskeletons for gait training. Dr. Carlow served as the principal investigator of the landmark WISE trial, a randomized controlled study demonstrating that a 12-week exoskeleton-based robotic training regimen produces clinically meaningful improvements in independent walking speed for community-dwelling patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury. This pivotal 2022 study, which has already garnered 73 citations, provides rigorous evidence that robotic gait training can translate into tangible functional gains beyond the laboratory. By bridging the gap between engineering innovation and clinical practice, Dr. Carlow’s research is directly shaping rehabilitation protocols and offering new hope for long-term neurological recovery. His work is essential reading for students and clinicians interested in the evidence-based integration of wearable robotics into standard care.
