About

Paula Popok is a dedicated researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on improving mobility and cognitive function in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Her most cited work, "Mobility and Cognitive Improvements Resulted from Overground Robotic Exoskeleton Gait-Training in Persons with MS" (2019, 7 citations), explores the dual benefits of overground robotic exoskeleton gait training. This study demonstrates that such interventions can enhance both physical walking ability and cognitive processing in MS patients, addressing the complex interplay between motor and cognitive deficits common in the disease. Popok’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging rehabilitation engineering with clinical neurology, offering evidence that robotic exoskeletons may serve as a holistic therapeutic tool. While her citation count is modest, her work holds significant promise for advancing assistive technologies in neurodegenerative care. By highlighting the synergistic effects of gait training, Popok provides a foundation for future research into integrated rehabilitation strategies that target both body and mind, making her a rising voice in the field of MS rehabilitation.
