About
Monika Herten is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Her work bridges a critical gap by investigating the efficacy and safety of exoskeleton-based therapy across both pediatric and adult populations. In her landmark 2022 randomized controlled trial—cited 20 times—Herten demonstrated that RAGT significantly improves walking speed and gait parameters in children with CP within an inpatient setting, providing robust evidence for integrating robotic support into standard therapy. She further advanced the field with her 2023 observational study, which confirmed the safety and feasibility of Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) training for adults with CP, a group often overlooked in rehabilitation research. By systematically evaluating task-based robotic interventions, Herten has established a foundation for personalized, technology-driven gait therapy. Her work not only quantifies moderate but positive effects but also champions inclusive care across the lifespan, making her a pivotal voice in modern neurorehabilitation and a key resource for clinicians and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to mobility restoration.
