About

Edmund Jin Rui Neo is a rehabilitation physician whose work sits at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, robotics, and complex medical comorbidities. His research focuses on leveraging robotic-assisted gait training and patient-guided suspension systems to improve functional outcomes in patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, and post-critical care COVID-19. His most cited paper (9 citations) documents the first reported use of a robotic suspension system for pulmonary rehabilitation in a post-ICU COVID-19 patient, establishing a novel protocol for addressing deconditioning in pandemic survivors. Neo’s 2021 study (5 citations) demonstrated that adjunct robotic therapy with a 7-days-a-week model of care outperformed conventional rehabilitation in stroke recovery. He has also published pioneering case reports on robot-assisted gait training in patients with Becker muscular dystrophy and concurrent stroke, and in a patient with blindness—showcasing his commitment to expanding rehabilitation access for underserved populations. His 2022 case report on complete spinal cord injury from postoperative seroma after scoliosis surgery highlights his expertise in managing rare, catastrophic complications. Neo’s work consistently pushes the boundaries of who can benefit from robotic rehabilitation, earning him recognition as a clinician-researcher advancing personalized, technology-enhanced recovery.
