About
Carlo Cisari is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, with his most impactful work centered on restoring mobility after neurological injury. His research has fundamentally addressed the critical question of how best to retrain gait in patients with subacute stroke. In his landmark 2009 study, which has garnered over 120 citations, Cisari conducted a rigorous single-blind, randomized controlled trial to compare treadmill training with body weight support against conventional overground gait therapy. This work provided essential evidence on the specific benefits and limitations of each approach for patients who were initially unable to walk, directly shaping clinical protocols for early stroke rehabilitation. Beyond this core contribution, Cisari’s broader body of work explores the mechanisms of motor recovery and the optimization of physical therapy interventions. His research is distinguished by its methodological rigor and direct clinical applicability, offering clear, evidence-based guidance for practitioners. For students and researchers in physical medicine and rehabilitation, Cisari’s investigations represent a vital bridge between laboratory-based motor control theories and the practical, life-changing task of helping patients walk again.
