About
Irina Yu. Solokhina is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, specializing in the treatment of severe forms of cerebral palsy (CP). Her work focuses on integrating robotic mechanotherapy with non-invasive electrostimulation techniques to restore postural balance and motor function in children. In her most-cited study (2020, 9 citations), she demonstrated that combining locomotor training with transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation and functional electrical stimulation (FES) of lower limb muscles significantly improves postural control in children with severe CP. This research bridges cutting-edge robotics and neurophysiology, offering new hope for patients with limited mobility. Solokhina’s contributions are notable for their translational impact, directly informing clinical protocols in pediatric rehabilitation. Her interdisciplinary approach—merging biomechanics, electrical stimulation, and robotics—has positioned her as a key figure in advancing non-invasive therapies for complex neurological disorders. With a growing citation record, her work continues to influence both rehabilitation engineering and clinical practice, underscoring the potential of combined neuromodulation and robotic training to enhance quality of life in children with severe motor impairments.
