About
Donatella Lettori is a leading figure in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in integrating robotic technologies into clinical care for children. Her work addresses the critical human factors—from physiotherapist training to patient and family acceptance—that determine the success of these advanced interventions. Her most cited paper, "Robotic Technology in Pediatric Neurorehabilitation. A Pilot Study of Human Factors in an Italian Pediatric Hospital" (2020, 19 citations), provides foundational evidence on how robotic tools can be effectively introduced in hospital settings, emphasizing the importance of user-centered design and multidisciplinary teamwork. This pilot study, conducted at an Italian pediatric hospital, has shaped protocols for implementing robotic therapy in children with neurological conditions, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and real-world pediatric practice. Lettori’s research is pivotal for clinicians and engineers alike, offering a roadmap for safe, effective, and humanistic adoption of robotics in child rehabilitation. Her work continues to influence how technology can enhance motor recovery and quality of life for young patients.
