About
Zaccaria Del Prete’s research lies at the intersection of human movement neuroscience and rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on balance, motor control, and the design of intelligent assistive devices. His work has made significant contributions to understanding how aging and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s, impair postural stability. Notably, his 2021 study on early balance impairment in Parkinson’s disease, using robot-assisted axial rotations, has garnered 28 citations, highlighting its impact on early diagnostic methods. Del Prete has also advanced the field through the development and application of robotic platforms like the RotoBiT and pediAnklebot, enabling precise quantification of age-related changes in ankle mechanics and muscle synergies during yaw perturbations. His recent 2024 paper introduces a novel control algorithm for ankle exoskeletons, combining convolutional and recurrent neural networks to improve gait analysis and user intent detection. With a growing body of work that bridges robotics, biomechanics, and clinical assessment, Del Prete is shaping the future of personalized rehabilitation technologies, offering new tools to mitigate fall risk and enhance motor learning across the lifespan.
