About
Domenico Intiso is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, whose research focuses on restoring motor function and balance in patients with severe neurological disorders. His work is particularly distinguished by its rigorous examination of technological interventions for stroke recovery. In his landmark 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis, which has garnered 95 citations, Intiso critically evaluated the efficacy of robotic-assisted gait training with the Lokomat® for improving balance control after stroke. This study provided essential, evidence-based insights into a rapidly evolving field, helping to clarify the real-world benefits of robotic therapy for a patient population where balance deficits are a primary cause of falls and long-term disability. Beyond stroke, Intiso has made significant contributions to the rehabilitation of rare and challenging conditions. His 2018 narrative review on progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), cited 21 times, addresses a critical gap in the literature, exploring the role of rehabilitation in a disease where no pharmacological cure exists. By demonstrating that targeted therapy can improve quality of life and manage disability even in progressive neurodegenerative disorders, his work has broadened the scope of rehabilitation medicine. Through these impactful studies, Intiso has established himself as a key researcher dedicated to advancing clinical practice for some of the most difficult-to-treat patient populations.
