About

Mihai Berteanu’s research lies at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, neurorehabilitation, and biomechanics, with a focus on restoring function after neurological injury. He has made significant contributions to the development of power-augmentation lower extremity exoskeletons, authoring a comprehensive overview of their biomechanics, actuation, and multi-level control strategies (40 citations). This work has helped shape the design of wearable robotic systems for gait rehabilitation. Dr. Berteanu has also advanced the clinical assessment of spasticity, notably through a pilot study introducing technologically-advanced, objective measurement tools for upper-limb spasticity (20 citations). His commitment to evidence-based practice is demonstrated by a systematic review validating the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) as a robust outcome measure for rehabilitation interventions (29 citations). In a randomized controlled trial, he showed that combining radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy with visual feedback balance training effectively reduces lower-limb spasticity and improves trunk performance and balance in post-stroke patients (12 citations). Through these works, Dr. Berteanu has bridged cutting-edge robotics with rigorous clinical evaluation, impacting how disability is measured and treated in neurorehabilitation.
