About

Raoul Saggini is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, with a research focus on integrating advanced robotic technologies with traditional therapeutic approaches to restore function in patients with severe neurological impairments. His major contributions lie in developing and testing combined protocols for post-stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS) recovery. Notably, his 2021 work on upper limb rehabilitation demonstrated that combining botulinum toxin with end-effector robotic training yields superior functional outcomes compared to robot therapy alone (23 citations). In acquired brain injury, Saggini’s research on verticalization using the Erigo® system has advanced early acute rehabilitation strategies (20 citations). He has also pioneered comparative studies in MS, showing that end-effector robot-assisted gait training can effectively improve walking, balance, and fatigue—key symptoms that profoundly impact quality of life. His work consistently bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and clinical practice, offering evidence-based protocols that enhance motor recovery and patient independence. With a career dedicated to refining rehabilitation through innovation, Saggini’s research continues to shape how clinicians approach chronic neurological conditions.
