About
Peter H. Gorman is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on restoring mobility and cardiovascular fitness in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). His work centers on robotic exoskeletons, body weight-supported treadmill training, and aquatic therapy as interventions for chronic motor incomplete SCI. Gorman conducted some of the first randomized controlled trials in this space, including a landmark 2014 study showing that robotically assisted treadmill training can improve peak aerobic fitness, and a 2019 trial comparing aquatic and robotic therapy for oxygen consumption. His 2024 study on exoskeletal-assisted walking in veterans with paralysis is among the most cited recent works, with 16 citations, and underscores the translational potential of wearable robotics for home and community use. Gorman has also contributed to methodological rigor by validating peak VO₂ assessments across different training modalities. His research has been cited over 90 times, and he is recognized for advancing evidence-based, technology-driven rehabilitation that bridges clinical efficacy with real-world application.
