About
Zachary Lamb is a researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and human sensory augmentation, with a primary focus on improving balance and mobility for individuals with neuromuscular disorders. His most significant contributions center on integrating vibrotactile feedback systems with robotic exoskeletons, specifically the EksoGT™ and Ekso Bionics® platforms. In his highly cited 2018 work, "A Vibrotactile Feedback Device for Balance Rehabilitation in the EksoGT™ Robotic Exoskeleton" (12 citations), Lamb developed a novel "V-Belt" device that delivers real-time tactile cues to compensate for impaired proprioception during gait retraining. His foundational 2017 study (4 citations) established the method's efficacy, demonstrating how sensory augmentation can restore standing balance in patients with degraded sensory systems. By combining robotic assistance with targeted vibrotactile feedback, Lamb's research directly addresses a critical gap in rehabilitation technology—helping patients regain functional walking ability when traditional therapy alone is insufficient. His work represents a notable achievement in closed-loop rehabilitation systems, offering a practical, wearable solution that bridges robotic support and human sensory perception.
