About

Claudia Redaelli’s research lies at the intersection of virtual reality (VR), rehabilitation robotics, and patient-centered healthcare design. Her work focuses on leveraging immersive technologies to support post-stroke recovery, with a strong emphasis on the psychological and motivational dimensions of rehabilitation. Her most-cited paper, “A virtual reality system for strengthening awareness and participation in rehabilitation for post-stroke patients” (2015, 15 citations), introduces a VR framework designed to enhance patient engagement and self-awareness during therapy. In “Avoiding boredom and anxiety: A study for rehabilitation application” (2012, 4 citations), she explores how thoughtfully designed virtual environments can reduce negative emotional states and improve adherence to robotic-assisted training. Her 2016 paper, “Focus on Patient in Virtual Reality-Assisted Rehabilitation” (3 citations), further advocates for shifting the technical paradigm toward user experience, emphasizing that effective rehabilitation must address not only motor recovery but also cognitive and emotional engagement. Though her citation counts are modest, Redaelli’s contributions are notable for their human-centered approach—prioritizing the patient’s subjective experience in the design of VR-based therapeutic tools. Her work offers valuable insights for researchers developing accessible, motivating, and effective rehabilitation technologies.
