About
Rolando Aguilar is a leading researcher in the field of robotic neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on developing wearable exoskeletons to restore motor function in stroke survivors. His work centers on the design, actuation, and clinical validation of robotic systems that assist with both lower-limb gait and upper-limb hand rehabilitation. Aguilar’s major contributions include the development of the T-FLEX ankle exoskeleton, whose actuation system was experimentally validated in stroke patients, demonstrating its potential to correct abnormal gait patterns and improve independence in daily activities. This foundational study has garnered 38 citations, underscoring its impact on assistive robotics. He also led the RobHand exoskeleton project for hand rehabilitation, where a case series study involving four stroke patients showed measurable improvements in manual function and hand muscle strength—a contribution cited 24 times. Additionally, Aguilar has explored novel control interfaces that integrate stroke rehabilitation techniques into robotic systems. Through these innovations, he is advancing the practical application of exoskeletons in clinical settings, helping to bridge the gap between robotic engineering and patient-centered neurological recovery.
