About
Carlo Sanfilippo is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, balance assessment, and fall prevention, with a particular focus on aging populations and neurological conditions. His most significant contributions center on the development and clinical validation of the hunova® robotic platform, a novel device designed for core stability, balance, and lower limb rehabilitation. Described in a 2019 paper with 54 citations, hunova® has since become a cornerstone of Sanfilippo's research program, enabling rigorous, sensor-driven assessments that traditional clinical tools cannot match. Sanfilippo's work has demonstrated meaningful clinical impact across multiple patient groups. His 2020 pilot study on chronic stroke survivors (67 citations) showed that robotic balance and core stability training produced measurable improvements in trunk control and dynamic stability. Complementing this, his development of a multifactorial fall-risk predictive model in older adults (57 citations) offers clinicians a prospective, data-driven tool for early identification of at-risk individuals. He has also extended this work to Parkinson's disease patients and community-dwelling older adults with varying levels of physical impairment. Together, his publications reflect a researcher steadily translating engineering innovation into tangible clinical solutions, making him a notable figure in rehabilitation technology.
