About
Kamyar Momeni is a biomedical and rehabilitation researcher specializing in robotic-assisted gait, spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation, and neuromechanics. His work centers on understanding how powered exoskeletons — particularly systems like EksoGT™ and ReWalk™ — can serve as both rehabilitative tools and functional mobility aids for individuals with chronic SCI. Momeni has made significant contributions to the field by establishing biomechanical models of exoskeleton walking, examining stride parameters, foot loading forces, and center of mass adaptations that correlate with improvements in walking speed following longitudinal training programs exceeding 100 hours. His research demonstrates that sustained exoskeleton training produces measurable gait improvements even during independent overground walking without the device — a clinically meaningful finding for SCI rehabilitation. More recently, Momeni has expanded into neurophysiological investigation, using EEG to explore corticomuscular connectivity during exoskeleton-assisted and unassisted walking in both able-bodied individuals and those with incomplete SCI. His most cited work (2018, 9 citations) laid important groundwork for understanding the mechanisms behind speed improvements following exoskeleton training. Collectively, his publications reflect a commitment to bridging robotics, biomechanics, and neuroscience to advance rehabilitation outcomes.
