About
Giulio Gasperini is a prominent rehabilitation medicine researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurology, robotics, and motor recovery. His research focuses primarily on robotic-assisted rehabilitation for stroke survivors, encompassing both upper and lower limb recovery using exoskeletons, end-effector devices, and hybrid neurostimulation systems. Gasperini's most influential contribution — a 2018 narrative review on exoskeleton and end-effector robots (273 citations) — has become a key reference for clinicians and engineers designing rehabilitation technologies. His rigorous approach extends to clinical trial design: his randomized controlled trial on overground powered exoskeleton use in subacute stroke patients (69 citations) provided important evidence supporting robot-assisted gait training as a complement to conventional therapy. Particularly noteworthy is his sustained involvement in the European RETRAINER project, through which he helped develop and validate a hybrid system combining passive exoskeletons with EMG-triggered functional electrical stimulation — an innovative approach to restoring arm function in stroke survivors that earned substantial attention across multiple publications. His systematic reviews of outcome measures in electromechanical walking training (85 citations) further demonstrate his commitment to methodological rigor. Collectively, Gasperini's portfolio reflects a career dedicated to translating advanced rehabilitation technologies into clinically meaningful, evidence-based interventions for neurologically impaired patients.
