About
Cristina Angeretti’s research focuses on neurorehabilitation and the autonomic nervous system, particularly in patients with disorders of consciousness such as vegetative and minimally conscious states. Her most-cited work, “Robotic tilt table reduces the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension over time in vegetative states” (2015, 23 citations), demonstrates a key contribution: showing that combining verticalization with passive lower-limb movement on a robotic tilt table significantly improves orthostatic tolerance. This finding offers a practical, non-pharmacological intervention to reduce a common complication in long-term care, enhancing patient stability and comfort. Angeretti’s work bridges rehabilitation engineering and clinical neurology, providing evidence for how mechanized therapy can modulate autonomic dysfunction. Her studies are foundational for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve quality of life and physiological resilience in non-responsive patients, highlighting the potential of tailored robotic assistance in neurorehabilitation.
