About

L. Lucarini is a leading voice in pediatric rehabilitation robotics, whose work bridges the gap between emerging technology and clinical practice for children with neurological disabilities. Her most significant contribution to date is her central role in the Italian Consensus Conference CICERONE, which produced the landmark 2022 paper "Robot-assisted rehabilitation for children with neurological disabilities." This work, already garnering 7 citations, provides a critical framework for an under-researched field, establishing standardized definitions and clinical recommendations where none previously existed. By addressing the lack of comprehensive evidence on robotic effectiveness in pediatric care, Lucarini has helped lay the foundation for safer, more effective interventions. Her research directly impacts how clinicians integrate robotic tools into rehabilitation for conditions like cerebral palsy and acquired brain injuries, moving the field from experimental use toward evidence-based practice. As a key figure in shaping national guidelines, Lucarini’s work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of assistive technology and child neurorehabilitation.
