About
Dr. Lilian B. Carvalho is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on improving mobility and quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work critically examines the safety and efficacy of robotic treadmill training, a cutting-edge intervention for gait recovery. In her highly cited 2015 case report, Dr. Carvalho documented a proximal tibia fracture in a patient with incomplete SCI during robotic therapy, raising essential awareness about the need for pre-treatment bone densitometry. This contribution has shaped clinical protocols, emphasizing that underlying bone fragility must be assessed to prevent injury during intensive robotic training. With over 20 citations, this study underscores her impact on patient safety in rehabilitation robotics. Dr. Carvalho’s research bridges biomechanics and clinical practice, guiding safer, more effective use of robotic devices. Her work is instrumental for clinicians and engineers developing next-generation rehabilitation technologies, ensuring that innovation does not outpace patient well-being.
