About
Irene Ciancarelli is a prominent researcher specializing in neurorehabilitation, robotics-assisted therapy, and neuroplasticity, with a particular focus on improving motor function in individuals with neurological disorders including cerebral palsy (CP) and stroke. Her work sits at the intersection of clinical rehabilitation science, biomechanics, and emerging robotic technologies, positioning her as a key voice in advancing evidence-based therapeutic interventions. Ciancarelli has made significant contributions through rigorous systematic and scoping reviews examining how robotic systems can rehabilitate gait, balance, and upper limb function in children with CP. Her 2023 scoping review on robotics and gait rehabilitation in CP has already garnered 27 citations, reflecting its rapid uptake by the research community. Her follow-up work on robot-assisted upper limb therapy and Lokomat exoskeleton training further consolidates this research thread, collectively accumulating nearly 50 citations across just a few years. Beyond pediatric populations, Ciancarelli explores how technology and neuroplasticity principles can be tailored for stroke survivors, bridging foundational neuroscience with clinical practice. Her 2023 paper on motor-cognitive functional recovery underscores her broader ambition to shape the future of neurorehabilitation. Her growing citation record signals an increasingly influential presence in translational rehabilitation research.
