About
Letizia Castelli is a rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and clinical recovery, with a particular focus on stroke rehabilitation and acquired brain injury. Her research has advanced understanding of how robotic and virtual reality-based therapies can simultaneously improve both motor and cognitive outcomes in patients with neurological conditions — a dual focus that distinguishes her contributions from purely motor-oriented approaches. Her most cited work, a 2020 explorative study on robotic rehabilitation and cognitive function in stroke survivors (49 citations), helped open a new conversation about the broader therapeutic potential of robotic platforms beyond physical recovery. Subsequent randomized controlled trials examining robot-assisted gait and balance training, VR-enhanced lower limb rehabilitation, and combined robotic protocols have collectively accumulated over 100 citations, reflecting substantial influence in the field. Castelli has also investigated focal muscular vibration for spasticity management and explored telerehabilitation as an accessible tool for fall-risk assessment in neurological populations. Taken together, her body of work champions evidence-based innovation in rehabilitation technology, making her a valuable voice for clinicians and researchers seeking to integrate emerging tools into patient-centered neurological care.
