About

Chiara Fanciullacci is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in robotic-assisted therapies for stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, as well as prosthetic design for transfemoral amputees. Her seminal 2015 randomized controlled trial on robot-assisted gait training in progressive MS, cited 94 times, demonstrated significant improvements in mobility and quality of life, establishing her as a key figure in evidence-based robotic rehabilitation. She has also pioneered user-centered design for powered robotic transfemoral prostheses, with a 2021 survey (38 citations) directly capturing amputee priorities to bridge the gap between human factors and device performance. Fanciullacci’s work uniquely integrates EEG artifact removal methods (25 citations) to monitor brain activity during Lokomat therapy, enabling real-time assessment of motor recovery. Her protocol for multimodal assessment of post-stroke elbow function (24 citations) and pilot studies on overground gait training for amputees further underscore her commitment to translating robotic innovations into clinical practice. With over 200 total citations, Fanciullacci’s research is shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation.
