About
Alessia Mapelli is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on motor recovery in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Her most cited work, a 2017 randomized clinical trial on robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT), demonstrated that combining RAGT with conventional exercise significantly improves ambulation in mild PD patients over a three-month follow-up. This study, cited 46 times, established her as a key contributor to evidence-based, technology-driven rehabilitation. Mapelli’s research bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, exploring how robotic systems can enhance neuroplasticity and functional outcomes. Her work has influenced rehabilitation protocols for movement disorders, offering patients more effective, personalized therapies. Beyond gait training, she investigates wearable sensors and quantitative movement analysis to refine assessment tools. Mapelli’s impact is reflected in her growing citation record and her role in advancing translational research that directly improves quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s. Her studies are essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to integrate robotics into neurorehabilitation.
