About
Thiago Chaves Amorim is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on restoring mobility and function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). His most cited work, a 2017 systematic review on robotic-assisted gait training for SCI, has garnered 121 citations and established a critical evidence base for integrating robotic exoskeletons into clinical rehabilitation protocols. This review systematically evaluated how robotic gait training can compensate for impaired motor pathways, improving muscle recruitment, motor planning, and functional capacity in SCI patients. Beyond this landmark paper, Amorim’s research explores the broader biopsychosocial impacts of SCI, including psychological well-being, bowel and bladder function, and osteomuscular health. His contributions have helped bridge the gap between engineering innovation and patient-centered care, demonstrating that robotic assistance not only enhances gait recovery but also addresses the complex, multi-system challenges of SCI. With a citation impact that continues to grow, Amorim’s work is essential reading for students and clinicians seeking evidence-based strategies in neurorehabilitation, and his systematic review remains a foundational reference for researchers developing next-generation robotic therapies.
