About

Dr. S. Jotheeswaran is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focused expertise in robotic exoskeleton-assisted gait training for neurological recovery. His major contributions lie in evaluating the clinical efficacy of overground robotic systems—specifically the Mobility Assisted Robotic System (MARS)—for improving gait parameters, balance, and functional outcomes in patients with stroke and motor incomplete myelopathy. His 2023 study on stroke patients (5 citations) demonstrated significant improvements in gait speed and symmetry through structured robotic training, while his 2024 work on myelopathy (3 citations) extended these findings to spinal cord injury populations, showing enhanced mobility and reduced disability. These prospective pre-post studies, conducted in tertiary teaching hospitals, provide critical evidence for integrating robotic rehabilitation into standard care. Dr. Jotheeswaran’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable solutions for motor recovery. His research is particularly impactful for rehabilitation scientists and clinicians seeking data-driven approaches to neurorehabilitation, positioning him as a key contributor to the growing field of robotic-assisted therapy.
