About
Debora Gabbani is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of robotics and neurorehabilitation, particularly for stroke survivors. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) and the use of surface electromyography (sEMG) to monitor and optimize recovery. In her most cited work, a 2017 bi-centre study (32 citations), she demonstrated the efficacy of robotic-assisted gait training in chronic stroke patients, providing preliminary evidence that such technology can significantly improve gait recovery—a critical goal in post-stroke rehabilitation. Gabbani also investigates the practical barriers to integrating sEMG assessment during overground robot-assisted gait training, as highlighted in her 2020 study (13 citations). This work addresses the gap between the diagnostic potential of sEMG and its limited use in clinical settings, aiming to enhance treatment planning and monitoring for subacute stroke patients. Her contributions are vital for advancing evidence-based, technology-driven rehabilitation protocols, bridging the gap between cutting-edge robotics and real-world clinical application. Gabbani’s research continues to shape how clinicians leverage wearable sensors and robotic devices to restore mobility and improve quality of life for stroke survivors.
