About
Paul Bassett is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on improving mobility and quality of life for individuals with neurological and developmental conditions. His primary research areas include robotic rehabilitation, assistive technologies, and neurorehabilitation for populations such as children with cerebral palsy (CP) and adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). Bassett’s major contributions center on evaluating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of powered exoskeletons and robotic trainers in clinical settings. Notably, he led the ‘heROIC’ trial, which investigated whether a robotic rehabilitation trainer could enhance quality of life, range of movement, and function in children with severe CP (GMFCS IV/V), addressing a critical gap in accessible exercise equipment for this population. His work has garnered attention, with the heROIC trial accumulating 5 citations since 2023. Additionally, his preliminary study on powered exoskeletons for balance training in people with MS (Rapper III) demonstrated promising feasibility and safety, laying groundwork for larger trials. Bassett’s research is distinguished by its focus on translating cutting-edge technology into practical, patient-centered interventions, making him a key figure in advancing assistive rehabilitation for underserved populations.
