About
Dr. Silvia Fadlun is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on the application of robotic technologies to restore mobility and improve quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her major contribution lies in synthesizing evidence on the clinical efficacy of overground powered lower limb exoskeletons (EXOs), demonstrating their potential not only for gait recovery but also for mitigating secondary health conditions. Her seminal 2022 systematic review, which has garnered 53 citations, critically analyzed the multi-domain effects of EXO training—from walking function to cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health—filling a crucial gap left by earlier, more narrowly focused reviews. By providing a comprehensive framework for evaluating these devices, Dr. Fadlun’s work directly informs clinical practice and rehabilitation protocols. Her research is instrumental in bridging engineering innovation with patient-centered outcomes, establishing her as a key voice in the field of assistive robotics and SCI rehabilitation.
