About
Dr. Chiara Lorenzon is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on wearable robotic exoskeletons for restoring mobility in stroke survivors. Her most cited work, a 2017 study on overground gait training using powered exoskeletons, demonstrated that sub-acute and chronic hemiparetic stroke patients could achieve meaningful gait recovery even shortly after the acute event. This preliminary study, garnering 83 citations, established a critical foundation for integrating wearable robotics into early-stage rehabilitation protocols. Dr. Lorenzon’s contributions bridge the gap between assistive technology and clinical practice, showing that exoskeletons can facilitate task-specific, overground walking training rather than limiting patients to treadmill-based therapy. Her research has been instrumental in shifting rehabilitation paradigms toward more natural, community-ambulation-focused interventions. By quantifying both therapeutic and functional ambulatory gains, she has provided clinicians with evidence-based tools to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Lorenzon’s work continues to influence the design of next-generation wearable robots and their integration into stroke rehabilitation programs worldwide.
