About

Carlo Capelli is a leading figure in the fields of physiological biomechanics and neurological rehabilitation, with a particular focus on developing and validating assistive technologies for gait recovery. His work bridges the gap between engineering and clinical application, aiming to restore natural, unconstrained movement in patients with neurological disorders. Among his most notable contributions is the pioneering case report, "Applicability of a new robotic walking aid in a patient with cerebral palsy," which demonstrated the feasibility and potential benefits of a novel, mobile robotic device that allows free ambulation in a natural environment—a significant departure from stationary treadmill-based systems. This work, cited 18 times, has helped lay the groundwork for more patient-centered, ecologically valid rehabilitation protocols. Capelli’s research is distinguished by its commitment to translating laboratory innovations into practical, real-world solutions, directly impacting the quality of life for individuals with motor impairments. His ongoing investigations continue to shape the future of robotic-assisted gait therapy, making him a key contributor to the advancement of modern neurorehabilitation.
