About
Anna Bonetto is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Her major contributions center on evaluating the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of exoskeleton-based therapies across the lifespan. In her landmark 2022 randomized controlled trial, she demonstrated that RAGT significantly improves walking speed and gait parameters in pediatric CP patients within an inpatient setting, providing robust evidence for integrating robotic therapy into standard care. Expanding this work, her 2023 observational study was the first to systematically assess the safety and feasibility of Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) training in adults with CP, showing that even six sessions can be safely incorporated into inpatient programs. Collectively, her studies have garnered over 25 citations, establishing a critical evidence base for translating robotic rehabilitation from children to adults. Bonetto’s research bridges a key gap in neurorehabilitation, offering data-driven support for personalized, technology-enhanced mobility interventions that improve functional outcomes and quality of life for patients with lifelong motor impairments.
