About
Mirko Filippetti is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the integration of robotic technologies and non-invasive brain stimulation to restore motor and cognitive function in patients with neurological disorders. His work primarily focuses on stroke and multiple sclerosis, where he has pioneered the combined use of robot-assisted gait and upper limb training with virtual reality, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and botulinum toxin. Filippetti’s landmark 2020 trial demonstrated that robot-assisted gait training combined with virtual reality significantly improves both motor and cognitive outcomes in multiple sclerosis patients (52 citations), while his 2019 study showed synergistic benefits of robot-assisted upper limb training and botulinum toxin for chronic stroke survivors (47 citations). His systematic reviews and meta-analyses on balance rehabilitation and postural instability in Parkinson’s disease have shaped clinical guidelines, collectively amassing over 280 citations. Notably, his innovative protocols pairing cerebellar and spinal tDCS with robotic gait training represent a novel approach to enhancing neuroplasticity. Filippetti’s work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering evidence-based solutions for some of the most challenging disabilities in neurorehabilitation.
