About

Alessandra Scarton is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing and implementing robotic-assisted therapies for individuals with severe neurological injuries. Her work centers on the use of wearable exoskeletons and advanced robotic systems to restore mobility and improve gait patterns in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic or anoxic brain injury. Scarton’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of exoskeleton-based gait training in SCI patients, as evidenced by her pilot study (49 citations), which laid groundwork for integrating these technologies into clinical rehabilitation. She also played a key role in establishing the Advanced Robotic Therapy Integrated Centers (ARTIC) network, an international collaboration aimed at standardizing and expanding the application of rehabilitation robots across diverse patient populations (48 citations). This initiative highlights her commitment to translating robotic innovations from research labs into widespread clinical practice. With over 100 total citations across her most influential works, Scarton’s research is shaping the future of neurorehabilitation, offering new hope for functional recovery in patients with profound motor deficits.
