About
Leonardo Pellicciari is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted gait and upper limb recovery after stroke. His work critically advances the field by moving beyond simple efficacy to assess the clinical relevance of rehabilitation technologies. Pellicciari’s major contributions include landmark comparative studies, such as his highly cited 2019 paper (39 citations) that directly contrasts the outcomes of end-effector, overground exoskeleton, and conventional gait training, providing essential guidance for clinical decision-making. He has also tackled practical barriers to clinical adoption, notably investigating the challenges of using surface electromyography (sEMG) during overground robot-assisted gait training in subacute stroke patients (2020). His most recent work, a 2025 systematic review with meta-analysis, further elevates the discourse by evaluating the true clinical significance of robotic upper limb rehabilitation, a crucial step for translating research into practice. Through his rigorous, comparative, and clinically-oriented research, Pellicciari is shaping the future of evidence-based stroke rehabilitation.
