About
Masahiko Gosho is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on restoring motor function after stroke. His work centers on evaluating the efficacy of advanced robotic exoskeletons, such as the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) and ReoGo-J, for gait and upper-limb rehabilitation. A key contribution is his pilot study demonstrating that HAL training significantly enhances gait functions in subacute stroke patients, a finding that has garnered 41 citations and laid groundwork for subsequent randomized controlled trials. Gosho has also advanced the field by establishing minimal clinically important difference (MCID) values for upper extremity outcome measures in chronic stroke patients with moderate to severe impairment, a critical step for interpreting clinical trial results. His research extends to perioperative care, where he investigated ocular parameter changes during robotic-assisted surgery. With over 100 total citations, Gosho’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, providing evidence-based protocols that inform rehabilitation strategies and improve quality of life for stroke survivors. His rigorous trial designs and focus on patient-centered outcomes make him a notable figure in rehabilitation robotics.
