About
Ilaria Creatini is a leading researcher in the field of robotic rehabilitation, specializing in the development of advanced exoskeletons for post-stroke and post-traumatic motor recovery. Her work focuses on restoring upper limb function, particularly for the shoulder complex and hand, through innovative, patient-centered robotic systems. Creatini’s major contributions include demonstrating the positive effects of robotic exoskeleton training on reaching movements in chronic stroke patients, as evidenced by her highly cited 2012 study (139 citations), which showed significant motor improvements. She also designed a gravity-compensated upper-limb exoskeleton that enhances shoulder rehabilitation without restricting natural body mobility, addressing a key limitation in existing devices (49 citations). More recently, she developed a self-aligning finger exoskeleton for metacarpophalangeal joint mobilization, prioritizing kinematic compatibility for clinical use (19 citations), and conducted a pilot study on post-traumatic hand rehabilitation using a powered exoskeleton, expanding robotic applications beyond neurological conditions (3 citations). Creatini’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable solutions for functional recovery. Her achievements highlight a commitment to improving quality of life for patients with motor impairments, making her a pivotal figure in rehabilitation robotics.
