About
Francesco Negrini is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted gait training for patients with neurological disorders. His work centers on restoring mobility and improving quality of life for individuals affected by stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS). Negrini’s major contributions include demonstrating the efficacy of robotic exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients, a finding supported by his highly cited 2021 systematic review (119 citations), which established a critical evidence base for integrating robotics into standard care. He further advanced the field with a randomized controlled crossover trial (38 citations) showing that robot-assisted gait training significantly improves walking ability in MS patients, addressing one of the most disabling aspects of the disease. By rigorously evaluating these technologies, Negrini has helped bridge the gap between engineering innovation and clinical practice, offering new hope for functional recovery. His work is widely referenced by rehabilitation scientists and clinicians, underscoring his impact on evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
