About
Osahiko Tsuji is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in restoring motor function for individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). His research centers on the intersection of robotic exoskeleton technology and neural recovery, particularly through the development and clinical application of the voluntary driven exoskeleton (VDE). Tsuji’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that body weight-supported treadmill training using the VDE (VDE-BWSTT) can significantly improve not only gait but also trunk function in chronic SCI patients—a critical yet often overlooked aspect of post-injury mobility and stability. His landmark 2021 single-arm study, which has garnered 17 citations, provides foundational evidence that robotic-assisted training can yield meaningful functional gains even years after injury. By targeting trunk control, Tsuji’s work expands the therapeutic potential of exoskeletons beyond locomotion, offering new hope for comprehensive rehabilitation. His achievements underscore a commitment to translating engineering innovation into tangible clinical outcomes, making him a pivotal researcher in the evolving field of neurorehabilitation robotics.
