About
Mohsen Nabian’s research lies at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, motor control, and human–machine interaction, with a primary focus on ankle rehabilitation and balance assessment. His most impactful work centers on the development of the virtually interfaced robotic ankle and balance trainer (vi-RABT), a 2-DOF platform-based robot designed to assess and train ankle motor control in individuals with orthopedic injuries or neurological impairments such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. Nabian’s key contributions include comparing position versus force control strategies for ankle rehabilitation, implementing task-dependent anisotropic impedance controllers, and examining muscle force control in patients with functional ankle instability. His studies have collectively garnered over 70 citations, with his 2014 paper on position versus force control receiving 16 citations and his 2019 work on muscle force control earning 14. Notably, his research addresses a critical clinical need: over 2 million acute ankle sprains and nearly 800,000 strokes occur annually in the U.S., underscoring the importance of his robotic interventions for restoring mobility and quality of life.
