About
Dr. Jianan Li is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing and validating intelligent exoskeleton systems for patients with neurological injuries. His work centers on three key areas: lower-limb robotic exoskeletons for locomotor rehabilitation, brain-computer interface (BCI)-driven robotic therapy, and clinical trials for stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery. Dr. Li has made major contributions by demonstrating the efficacy of novel exoskeletal robots like the BEAR-H1 and REX in improving balance, walking function, and overall mobility in sub-acute stroke patients, as shown in his randomized controlled trials (49 and 30 citations). He also pioneered the integration of BCI with lower-limb robots to enable full-cycle active rehabilitation for SCI patients, even those with no voluntary muscle movement (29 and 7 citations). His multi-center, cross-over trial on the Ai-robot exoskeleton (32 citations) established its safety and feasibility for SCI locomotor training. With over 160 total citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Li’s research is instrumental in advancing smart, patient-responsive rehabilitation technologies that bridge the gap between robotic assistance and neural control.
