About

Angela Marra is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on the intersection of motor recovery and cognitive function in aging and neurological populations. Her work has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic-assisted gait training, such as with the Lokomat, can yield benefits that extend far beyond motor improvement. In her highly influential 2015 study, "Lokomat training in vascular dementia: motor improvement and beyond!" (25 citations), Marra provided compelling evidence that such interventions can also enhance cognitive and behavioral outcomes in patients with vascular dementia. This landmark contribution has helped reshape rehabilitation protocols, highlighting the potential for integrated therapies to address both physical and mental decline. Marra’s research is widely cited for its innovative approach to linking motor and cognitive rehabilitation, and she is recognized as a key figure in advancing evidence-based, holistic treatment strategies for individuals with dementia and other neurodegenerative conditions. Her work continues to inspire new directions in neurorehabilitation research.
