Scientific Advisory Board

The DIH Scientific Advisory Board (DIH SAB) is composed of leading scientists and clinicians with expertise across a range of technical and clinical disciplines relevant to DIH’s advanced rehabilitation solutions, the clinical environments where these solutions are applied, and the geographical regions where DIH products are sold. The SAB advises DIH on technical and scientific pursuits, offers insights into the latest trends in clinical and scientific communities, provides feedback on product development, and advises DIH on research plans and projects.

Prof. Paolo Bonato

Paolo Bonato, Ph. D., is the Director of the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School. He is an internationally renowned rehabilitation engineer whose extensive research work is focused on the development of rehabilitation technologies, with special emphasis on wearable technology and robotics.

Prof. Jonathan Bates Dingwell

Jonathan Dingwell, Ph. D., is a Professor of Kinesiology at Pennsylvania State University. He is a leading expert in biomechanics, the neuromuscular control process of complex human movements, and gait analysis. He develops computational models and novel VR-based interventions to improve walking functions and prevent falls.

Prof. Alberto Esquenazi

Alberto Esquenazi, MD, is the Chief Medical Officer at MossRehab, a leading physical rehabilitation facility in the US, and a Professor of Rehabilitation at Temple University School of Medicine, Thomas. He is a leading expert in robotics, rehabilitation, gait analysis, and spasticity management and has received the Distinguished Clinician Award from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Prof. Kenneth Meijer

Kenneth Meijer, Ph. D., is a Professor of Human Movement Sciences at Maastricht University and the Research Director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Maastricht University Medical Centre. His extensive research work focuses on the neuromechanics of movement and movement disorders, activity monitoring, and the biology of physical (in)activity.

Prof. Giovanni Morone

Giovanni Morone, MD, is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Life, Health, and Environmental Sciences at the University of L’ Aquila. He is a leading medical scientist in neurorehabilitation, postural control, and technology-assisted motor rehabilitation, with a special emphasis on robotics and sensor-based training approaches.

Prof. David Reinkensmeyer

David Reinkensmeyer, Ph.D, is a Professor in the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Anatomy and Neurobiology, Biomedical Engineering, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of California at Irvine. He is a distinguished expert in robotics and wearable sensors for neurorehabilitation and in computational neuroscience for movement control and is co-inventor of several innovative technologies for rehabilitation, including the T-WREX upper extremity training device on which Hocoma’s Armeo®Spring is based.

Prof. Robert Riener

Robert Riener, Ph.D. , is Professor for Sensory-Motor Systems at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich. He develops robots and interaction methods for motor learning in rehabilitation and sports, including the ARMIN technology on which Hocoma’s Armeo®Power is based and has received several distinctions including the Swiss Technology Award. His current research interests involve human motion synthesis, biomechanics, virtual reality, man-machine interaction, and rehabilitation robotics.

Dr. Melvyn Roerdink

Melvyn Roerdink, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences, Prevention and Rehabilitation at VU Amsterdam. He designs and builds interactive augmented reality solutions for gait research and gait rehabilitation, including the technology on which Motek’s C-Mill is based. He also examines actor-environment interactions in the context of human movements, fall prevention, and sports.
