About

Nino Basaglia is a prominent rehabilitation medicine specialist whose research has significantly advanced the understanding of technology-assisted neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on robot-assisted therapies for neurological conditions including stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS). His work has pioneered the clinical application of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and upper limb rehabilitation robotics, systematically evaluating their efficacy through rigorous randomized controlled trials. Basaglia's investigations into RAGT for progressive MS — spanning from early pilot studies (2013, 60 citations) to landmark trials such as the RAGTIME study (2019, 59 citations) — have helped define both the promise and the realistic boundaries of robotic rehabilitation in severely disabled populations. His influential 2016 work combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with robotic upper limb therapy (108 citations) demonstrated meaningful gains in stroke survivors, while his 2019 clinical trial integrating functional electrical stimulation with arm training further broadened the therapeutic toolkit available to clinicians. Notably, his 2020 findings linking rehabilitation intensity to mitochondrial function in MS patients opened a compelling biological dimension to the field. Collectively, Basaglia's body of work, accumulating hundreds of citations, has meaningfully shaped evidence-based practices in neurological rehabilitation worldwide.
