About

Dr. Neil Jasey is a leading physical medicine and rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on advancing neurorehabilitation for stroke and brain injury survivors. His major contributions center on the clinical application of robotic exoskeleton technology to restore mobility and function in patients with neurological deficits. In his landmark 2020 study, "Robotic Exoskeleton Gait Training During Acute Stroke Inpatient Rehabilitation" (47 citations), Dr. Jasey demonstrated that early, high-dose robotic gait training can significantly improve balance, coordination, and walking ability during the critical acute phase of stroke recovery. This work has helped establish robotic exoskeletons as a viable, consistent tool for delivering repetitive, task-specific therapy—a cornerstone of neuroplasticity. Beyond this, Dr. Jasey has made notable contributions to understanding the mechanisms of recovery after traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. His research is distinguished by its direct translation from the lab to the bedside, shaping inpatient rehabilitation protocols and influencing how clinicians integrate cutting-edge technology into standard care. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Jasey is recognized as a key figure bridging engineering innovation and clinical rehabilitation science.
