What this paper is
This paper reports on the media visibility, scientific output, and technology transfer outcomes of the Cybathlon competitions between 2014 and 2025. It is a descriptive analysis of event impact and does not report clinical trial results, patient outcomes, or specific rehabilitation interventions, so there are no findings here to change clinical practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not interpret this paper as evidence that any specific assistive device or rehabilitation protocol is effective; it describes the visibility and commercialization of the event, not clinical efficacy.
