About
Simona Maria Carmignano is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted gait training for neurological disorders. Her work systematically evaluates how robotic devices can restore mobility in patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury (SCI), and Parkinson’s disease. Carmignano’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between clinical evidence and practical application. Her most cited paper, a 2021 systematic review on robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation post-stroke (125 citations), provides crucial clinical recommendations for integrating robotics into standard care. She has extended this work to other populations, authoring comprehensive reviews on gait robotics for MS (38 citations) and SCI (30 citations), and offering clear, evidence-based guidelines for device selection and training protocols. Notably, her 2022 review on Parkinson’s disease (30 citations) addresses the critical question of optimal training parameters. Through these high-impact syntheses, Carmignano has become a key voice in the Italian CICERONE consensus, shaping how clinicians worldwide deploy robotic exoskeletons to improve walking function, balance, and fatigue in diverse patient groups. Her research empowers clinicians to move from intuition to evidence in neurorehabilitation.
