About
Corrado Melegari is a rehabilitation medicine researcher whose work has profoundly shaped the evidence base for robotic-assisted rehabilitation across a range of neurological conditions. Specializing in neurorehabilitation and robotic therapy, Melegari has dedicated his career to synthesizing clinical evidence through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, helping translate emerging technologies into actionable clinical guidance. His most celebrated contributions include landmark meta-analyses examining robotic rehabilitation for stroke survivors — work that has collectively garnered over 640 citations — demonstrating meaningful improvements in both upper limb function and gait following robot-assisted training. His 2017 systematic review on upper limb robotics alone has attracted nearly 400 citations, underscoring its significance to the field. Melegari has further extended this scholarship to populations with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injury, helping establish clinical recommendations where clear guidance previously lacked. His involvement in the Italian CICERONE Consensus initiative reflects his commitment to bridging research and real-world practice. Through early case study work with the Lokomat device and subsequent large-scale reviews, Melegari has consistently illuminated both the promise and practical boundaries of robotic rehabilitation, making him an essential voice for clinicians and researchers navigating this rapidly evolving field.
