About
M.M. Mirbagheri is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a specialized focus on robotic-assisted locomotor training and neuromuscular recovery in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). His work has made significant contributions to understanding how robotic devices, particularly the Lokomat gait orthosis, can restore motor function and reduce spasticity in people with incomplete SCI. Mirbagheri's research systematically examines the therapeutic effects of robotic locomotor training on a range of outcomes, including stretch reflex function, volitional movement, muscle strength, and neuromuscular properties. A distinctive strength of his approach is the application of system identification techniques and advanced longitudinal modeling to rigorously quantify rehabilitation outcomes. His most-cited work, exploring ankle voluntary movement enhancement following Lokomat training (43 citations), highlights the meaningful motor gains achievable through structured robotic therapy. Beyond documenting training effects, Mirbagheri has investigated individualized responses to treatment, explored the interplay between anti-spastic medications and robotic training, and compared pharmacological versus robotic interventions for spasticity management. Collectively, his publications — accumulating over 200 citations — provide a robust scientific foundation for evidence-based robotic rehabilitation protocols, directly influencing clinical practice and guiding future research in SCI recovery and assistive technology development.
