About

Jonaz Moreno Jaramillo is a rising leader in the field of wearable robotics and human locomotion, whose research is fundamentally reshaping how we understand neural adaptation during gait rehabilitation. His work centers on the critical question of whether robotic exoskeletons can do more than simply assist movement—can they actually retrain the nervous system to walk more symmetrically? Through a series of meticulously designed studies, Jaramillo has demonstrated that bilateral asymmetric hip stiffness applied by robotic exoskeletons elicits genuine kinematic and kinetic adaptation in users. His 2022 and 2024 papers, each garnering 7 citations, provide foundational evidence that exoskeletons can provoke neural plasticity, a cornerstone of effective neurological rehabilitation. By systematically characterizing how individuals adapt to unilateral and bilateral stiffness modulation, Jaramillo is bridging the gap between assistive technology and therapeutic intervention. His work holds profound implications for stroke survivors and individuals with gait asymmetries, offering a pathway toward portable, intelligent rehabilitation tools that actively retrain walking patterns rather than merely compensating for deficits.
