About

Dr. Teresa Paolucci is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on restoring motor function in patients with neurological disorders. Her work uniquely bridges the gap between advanced technology and clinical practice, particularly for upper and lower limb recovery. Dr. Paolucci’s major contributions include pioneering integrated rehabilitative protocols, such as combining botulinum toxin injections with end-effector robotic training for chronic post-stroke patients, a study that has garnered 23 citations. She has also been instrumental in advancing personalized robot-assisted therapy for children with cerebral palsy, as evidenced by her highly-cited 2025 systematic review (17 citations) and her evaluation of the Lokomat® exoskeleton for gait training (5 citations). Her research demonstrates that robotic systems, when tailored to individual patient needs, can significantly enhance functional outcomes beyond conventional therapy alone. By systematically reviewing the efficacy of these technologies, Dr. Paolucci provides crucial evidence for their clinical adoption, making her a vital voice in the field of neurorehabilitation and a key figure in shaping future therapeutic strategies for both adult and pediatric populations.
