About
Alessia Federici is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on restoring mobility and balance in stroke survivors. Her most cited work, a 2016 randomized controlled trial, investigates the effects of overground walking training using the i-Walker, a robotic servo-assistive device, in patients with subacute stroke. This study demonstrated that physiological overground walking with robotic assistance significantly enhances balance more effectively than stationary, device-based walking training. With 37 citations, this contribution has shaped clinical approaches to post-stroke rehabilitation, emphasizing the importance of task-specific, real-world locomotion. Federici’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, advancing the design and application of intelligent assistive technologies that promote natural gait patterns. Her work underscores a commitment to improving functional outcomes and quality of life for individuals with neurological impairments, making her a key figure in the field of robotic neurorehabilitation.
