About
D. Malgrati is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring mobility in stroke survivors. Her most impactful work investigates the comparative effectiveness of treadmill training with body weight support versus conventional overground gait training for patients early after stroke. In a landmark 2009 study, cited over 120 times, she conducted a single-blind, randomized controlled trial that provided critical evidence on the added value of body-supported treadmill training for those unable to walk. This research directly informs clinical protocols for subacute stroke rehabilitation, helping therapists decide the optimal timing and technique for gait retraining. Malgrati’s contributions have shaped how clinicians approach early mobility interventions, emphasizing evidence-based practice to maximize functional recovery. Her work remains essential reading for physiotherapists and rehabilitation scientists seeking to improve walking outcomes in stroke patients.
