About
Nicola Lamberti is a clinical rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurological disease management and advanced rehabilitative technologies, with a particular focus on multiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke recovery. He has made significant contributions to understanding the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and functional electrical stimulation in patients with severe neurological disabilities. His landmark RAGTIME randomized controlled trial — cited 59 times — challenged assumptions about RAGT's superiority over intensive overground walking in progressive MS, while his complementary work revealed that rehabilitation meaningfully improves mitochondrial energetics in this population. His research on stroke rehabilitation has explored both upper-limb recovery through robot-arm training combined with electrical stimulation (75 citations) and sex-related differences in gait rehabilitation outcomes. Lamberti's ongoing PROGR-EX trial reflects his commitment to optimizing training parameters, investigating whether low-intensity interval RAGT can reduce physiological stress while preserving functional gains. By integrating neuroimaging tools such as fNIRS and biomarker analysis into clinical trials, he has helped elucidate the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying rehabilitation, advancing evidence-based practice for some of the most challenging patient populations in neurology.
