About
Lanja Saleh’s research centers on the intersection of cardiovascular rehabilitation and robotic-assisted therapy, with a particular focus on improving outcomes for heart failure patients. Her most notable contribution is a pioneering pilot study that investigated the use of the Lokomat® robotic gait training system in individuals with stable heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. This work demonstrated the feasibility and potential benefits of robot-assisted gait therapy as a novel aerobic training modality for this patient population, opening new avenues for non-traditional rehabilitation approaches. Although a small-scale study with five participants, it has garnered approximately 17 citations, reflecting its foundational role in a niche but growing field. By exploring how robotic technology can safely enhance mobility and cardiovascular fitness, Saleh’s research bridges rehabilitation engineering and clinical cardiology. Her work stands as an early, important step toward integrating advanced robotics into standard heart failure care, offering hope for more engaging and effective exercise interventions.
