About
Dr. Loredana Raciti is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurology and rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on improving motor function in neurodegenerative diseases. Her work centers on the application of powered exoskeletons and robotic systems to treat movement disorders, particularly in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dr. Raciti’s major contributions include demonstrating that gravity-supporting exoskeletons can significantly improve upper extremity bradykinesia in PD, a finding published in a 2022 randomized clinical trial (20 citations). She has also shown the efficacy of robotic gait training for balance and mobility in MS (14 citations) and explored combined approaches, such as botulinum toxin, for managing spasticity (8 citations). Her research extends to rare conditions, including a case report on robot-aided gait training for primary lateral sclerosis and a multidisciplinary approach to central pontine myelinolysis recovery. With a growing body of work that includes a 2025 randomized controlled trial on robotic hand rehabilitation in PD, Dr. Raciti is establishing herself as a pioneer in translating robotic interventions into practical, evidence-based therapies that enhance functional independence and quality of life for patients with complex neurological disorders.
