About
Dr. Valeria Barletta is a leading researcher in occupational rehabilitation and post-viral recovery, with a focus on integrating conventional and technological-robotic approaches to restore function in workers. Her most cited work, a 2023 study published in collaboration with INAIL and Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi, proposes a multiaxial rehabilitation programme for individuals suffering from COVID-19 sequelae. This research addresses the complex, multi-system impact of the virus—affecting respiratory, cardiological, neuro-psychological, and metabolic functions—and pioneers a structured, interdisciplinary recovery pathway for the working population. With 3 citations, this paper has already informed clinical protocols for managing long COVID in occupational settings. Dr. Barletta’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between acute post-viral care and long-term vocational reintegration, emphasizing the use of advanced robotic technologies alongside traditional therapies. Her work underscores a critical shift toward personalized, technology-enhanced rehabilitation that accounts for the full spectrum of disability following severe illness. For students and researchers in occupational health and rehabilitation science, Dr. Barletta’s research offers a vital framework for addressing emerging challenges in worker recovery and return-to-function after pandemic-era diseases.
