About

Luca Doglio is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, specializing in robotic therapy for motor recovery after neurological injury. His work focuses on adaptive robotic systems that modulate assistance in real time, particularly for wrist training in children with conditions such as stroke and dystonia. Doglio’s key contributions include demonstrating that robot-assisted wrist therapy, when combined with conventional rehabilitation, can significantly enhance motor recovery in pediatric populations—an area historically understudied compared to adult applications. His most cited paper, “Robotic wrist training after stroke: Adaptive modulation of assistance in pediatric rehabilitation” (2017, 37 citations), provides foundational evidence for adaptive assistance algorithms that personalize therapy to each child’s needs. Earlier studies, including his pilot work on dystonia (2014, 7 citations), helped shift the field’s focus from shoulder-elbow robotics to coordinated wrist movements, which are critical for daily living skills. With over 50 cumulative citations, Doglio’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable, data-driven solutions for pediatric motor rehabilitation. His work is widely referenced in rehabilitation robotics and has influenced the design of adaptive training protocols for young patients with neurological impairments.
