About

R Antenucci is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in gait and balance recovery for individuals with neurological disorders. Their work focuses on the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and body-weight-supported treadmill training for conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. A key contribution is their 2009 randomized controlled trial, which demonstrated that adding treadmill training with body weight support to overground gait therapy significantly improves walking outcomes in early post-stroke patients, accumulating over 120 citations. Antenucci has also advanced the field through systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including a 2021 study on RAGT’s impact on balance and gait in multiple sclerosis (44 citations) and a 2023 meta-analysis confirming RAGT’s benefits for post-stroke balance (44 citations). Their 2021 review on postural instability in Parkinson’s disease (28 citations) further underscores their expertise in addressing disabling symptoms. By synthesizing evidence from randomized trials, Antenucci has shaped clinical guidelines for integrating robotic rehabilitation into standard care, enhancing mobility and quality of life for patients with chronic neurological conditions.
