About
Katia Molatore is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on early mobilization strategies for patients with severe acquired brain injury (ABI). Her most cited work, a 2016 randomized pilot study, investigates the effectiveness of a very early stepping verticalization protocol administered in the intensive care unit. This landmark paper, with 96 citations, demonstrates that initiating verticalization—including stepping movements—soon after injury is not only safe but can significantly improve functional and neurological outcomes in this critically ill population. By challenging traditional, more cautious rehabilitation timelines, Molatore’s research has helped establish a new paradigm for early, active intervention in the ICU. Her contributions are pivotal for clinicians and researchers working to enhance recovery trajectories for patients with the most severe neurological insults, bridging the gap between acute care and long-term rehabilitation.
