About
Domenico De Angelis is a prominent rehabilitation medicine researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the understanding and application of robotic-assisted gait training for stroke patients. With a career focused on neurological rehabilitation technology, De Angelis has made significant contributions to identifying which stroke patients stand to benefit most from emerging robotic therapies — a critical clinical question given the variable outcomes reported across the field. His 2017 review on robot-mediated gait training (292 citations) stands as a landmark reference in the field, synthesizing the state of the art and charting future directions for more integrated rehabilitative processes. Complementing this, his paired 2011 investigations (168 and 87 citations respectively) broke important ground by profiling patient characteristics predictive of both immediate and durable gains from robotic walking therapy, offering clinicians practical guidance for treatment selection. De Angelis has also broadened the rehabilitation lens beyond technology alone, notably exploring how psychological features of patients and caregivers influence robotic therapy outcomes — an often-overlooked dimension of recovery. His 2012 contribution on seven capital devices for stroke rehabilitation (118 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to shaping the future of neurorehabilitation. Collectively, his work bridges clinical practice and technological innovation in service of improving long-term outcomes for stroke survivors.
