About
Claudio Loconsole is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, whose work centers on developing intelligent robotic exoskeletons for post-stroke motor recovery. His major contributions lie at the intersection of human-machine interfaces and assistive robotics, particularly in creating systems that restore reaching and grasping functions. His most influential work, an EMG-controlled robotic hand exoskeleton for bilateral rehabilitation (341 citations), introduced a novel design with intrinsic adaptability to patient hand size and a free-palm architecture. He has pioneered the integration of multiple control modalities, including gaze-independent brain-computer interfaces (217 citations) and electromyography-based torque prediction (50 citations), to enable active patient participation in therapy. His research has produced full upper limb exoskeletons for coordinated reaching and grasping (65 citations), and he has developed innovative trajectory planning algorithms that mimic natural human movement (33 citations). Loconsole’s work on the ALEx exoskeleton (28 citations) has advanced quantitative motor skill evaluation in stroke patients. Through his contributions to emerging technologies for neurorehabilitation (23 citations), he continues to push the boundaries of wearable robotic systems that can translate laboratory innovations into real-world therapeutic applications.
