About
Dr. Yusuke Endo is a pioneering researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on the application of wearable robotic exoskeletons for gait and upper limb training. His major contributions center on evaluating the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of devices like the Honda Walking Assistive® (HWA) and the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) across diverse patient populations. Dr. Endo has demonstrated the transformative potential of these technologies in improving walking ability for individuals following total hip and knee arthroplasty, as well as for those with non-traumatic spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy. Notably, his work extends to pediatric applications, with case reports showing improved gait in children with cerebral palsy, and to upper limb rehabilitation for obstetric brachial plexus injury and cervical spinal cord injury. With his most-cited papers accumulating between 2 and 19 citations, Dr. Endo’s research is foundational in establishing evidence-based protocols for robot-assisted rehabilitation. His work on the peri-operative efficacy of robotic-assisted cystectomy in older patients also highlights a broader surgical robotics interest. Through detailed case studies and single-subject designs, Dr. Endo provides critical insights into how robotic assistance can be tailored to patient effort, advancing personalized neurorehabilitation.
