About
Galina A. Ikoeva is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, specializing in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and other severe neurological disorders. Her work focuses on integrating advanced robotic mechanotherapy with non-invasive neurostimulation techniques to restore motor function and postural control. Ikoeva’s major contributions include demonstrating the synergistic benefits of combining robotic locomotor training with transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation and functional electrical stimulation (FES) to improve balance and gait in children with severe CP. Her 2016 study on motor rehabilitation using robotic mechanotherapy and spinal cord stimulation has garnered 9 citations, highlighting its foundational impact. She has also pioneered the use of translingual neurostimulation for spastic diplegia and applied robotic rehabilitation to address complex orthopedic complications, such as hip subluxation in children with spina bifida. Ikoeva’s work is notable for its rigorous clinical and neurophysiological evaluations, offering evidence-based protocols that bridge engineering and medicine. Her research has significantly advanced the field, providing new hope for mobility and quality of life in children with lifelong movement disabilities.
