About
Marcella Masciullo’s research lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and robotics, with a primary focus on restoring mobility for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work centers on developing and validating neuromuscular controllers for powered lower limb exoskeletons, particularly the Achilles ankle exoskeleton, to optimize human-robot interaction. Her most influential study (55 citations) demonstrated how an embedded neuromuscular controller improved gait, clinical outcomes, and user satisfaction in incomplete SCI subjects, highlighting the potential of adaptive robotic assistance. She also authored a comprehensive systematic review (53 citations) on overground exoskeleton training, synthesizing evidence on walking and secondary health benefits for SCI individuals. Beyond these landmark contributions, Masciullo has explored balance recovery training with wearable exoskeletons and chronic gait training protocols. Her work is notable for bridging engineering innovation with clinical application, emphasizing user-centered design and real-world functional gains. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating robotic technology into tangible rehabilitation outcomes, Masciullo is a key figure in advancing exoskeleton-assisted therapy for neurological recovery.
