About
Romain Meeusen is a leading researcher in the field of robot-assisted gait rehabilitation, with a particular focus on improving human-robot interaction for individuals with neurological disorders. His work spans spinal cord injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis, where he has systematically evaluated the effectiveness of robotic exoskeletons and body-weight-supported treadmill training. Meeusen’s major contributions include demonstrating that robot-assisted gait training can enhance walking ability and balance in stroke patients, as evidenced by his highly cited systematic reviews (208 and 115 citations, respectively). He has also pioneered the development of safe, compliant powered knee exoskeletons that prioritize physical human-robot interaction, with key studies on kinematics and muscle activity inside these devices (106 and 99 citations). More recently, Meeusen has advanced the field through human-in-the-loop optimization strategies, which tailor robotic assistance in real-time to individual user needs (85 citations). His work integrates psychophysiological responses and brain dynamics during robotic walking, offering insights into how cognitive workload and guidance forces affect motor control. With over 850 total citations across his top ten papers, Meeusen’s research is foundational for designing more effective, user-centered rehabilitation technologies.
