About
Michela Goffredo is a prominent rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and clinical medicine, with a particular focus on robot-assisted rehabilitation following neurological injury. Her research has made substantial contributions to understanding how electromechanical and robotic devices can restore motor function in individuals affected by stroke and Parkinson's disease. Through a series of rigorous randomized controlled trials and multicenter studies, Goffredo has systematically evaluated the efficacy of both overground exoskeletons and end-effector systems for gait recovery in subacute stroke patients, accumulating hundreds of citations across her body of work. Her investigations into upper limb robot-assisted therapy have been especially influential, identifying key predictors of functional recovery and establishing kinematic biomarkers for tracking patient progress — findings that carry direct clinical relevance. A notable 2021 scoping review she co-authored has helped standardize how the field classifies and evaluates robotic neurorehabilitation studies. Across her career, Goffredo has championed evidence-based integration of robotic technology into mainstream rehabilitation practice, bridging engineering innovation and patient-centered outcomes to shape the future of neurological recovery.
