About
Xiang Gou is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on applying lower limb exoskeletons to improve the lives of individuals with complete spinal cord injury (SCI). Gou’s major contributions center on rigorous clinical trials that move beyond basic mobility to assess holistic patient outcomes. In a landmark 2023 randomized controlled trial (12 citations), Gou demonstrated that exoskeleton-assisted walking significantly enhances quality of life and functional independence in patients with motor-complete SCI. Earlier work (2019, 7 citations) established the safety and efficacy of these devices for improving walking function. Most notably, Gou’s pioneering 2024 pilot study (5 citations) broke new ground by exploring the brain–gut axis, revealing that exoskeleton-assisted walking can improve bowel function and alter intestinal flora—a critical, often-overlooked aspect of SCI rehabilitation. By systematically linking robotic intervention to both neurological and physiological benefits, Xiang Gou is shaping the future of comprehensive, evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
