About
Juha Puustinen is a leading researcher in neurological rehabilitation, with a focus on the application of over-ground robotic lower limb exoskeletons to improve gait recovery after stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). His major contribution lies in bridging the gap between technological feasibility and real-world clinical outcomes, particularly by exploring user experiences and the learning processes involved in robotic-assisted therapy. In his highly cited 2020 work, Puustinen demonstrated the safety and feasibility of these devices while addressing the scarcity of evidence on their effects for stroke survivors. By emphasizing subjective user feedback alongside objective walking measures, his research provides critical insights into how patients adapt to and benefit from exoskeleton training. With 13 citations on this key paper, his work has shaped discussions on patient-centered rehabilitation technology. Puustinen’s studies are essential for clinicians and engineers seeking to optimize robotic exoskeletons for neurological recovery, ensuring that innovation translates into meaningful improvements in mobility and quality of life.
