About
Angela Militi is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the intersection of robotics and biomechanics for individuals with neurological disorders. Her work primarily focuses on cerebral palsy (CP) and spinal cord injury (SCI), where she investigates how robotic technologies can restore gait, balance, and motor function. In her highly cited 2023 scoping review on CP, Militi systematically analyzed how robotic interventions address biomechanical impairments—such as disrupted trunk control and asymmetrical foot placement—demonstrating that end-effector robots and exoskeletons can significantly improve gait symmetry and postural stability. This work, with 27 citations, has become a foundational reference for clinicians and engineers developing assistive devices. Her 2020 pilot study on SCI further advanced the field by correlating end-effector robotic training with measurable neurophysiological outcomes, including enhanced cortical excitability and motor recovery. With a total of 46 citations across her most influential papers, Militi’s research bridges the gap between engineering and clinical practice, offering evidence-based pathways for personalized rehabilitation. Her contributions are pivotal for students and researchers seeking to understand how robotics can transform mobility and quality of life for patients with lifelong motor disabilities.
