Neurorehabilitation
Stroke recovery, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.
Neurorehabilitation has been transformed by neuromodulation, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces translating from research into routine practice. GCPR 2027 will examine paired vagus nerve stimulation (Vivistim) for chronic upper-limb stroke deficits, robotic gait trainers (Lokomat, Andago) and soft exosuits (Wandercraft Atalante, Ekso Indego, ReWalk Personal 6.0) for ambulation recovery, and epidural and transcutaneous spinal stimulation (Onward ARC-EX, NeuroRecovery Technologies) for motor and autonomic restoration after SCI. Sessions will also cover cognitive rehabilitation after TBI, post-stroke spasticity management, and the integration of implantable BCIs (Synchron Stentrode, Neuralink, Blackrock) into communication and motor rehabilitation pathways.
