About
Enrico Castelli is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and pediatric robotics, whose work has fundamentally advanced how robotic technologies are applied to restore movement in individuals with neurological impairment. His research spans stroke rehabilitation, pediatric motor disorders, and progressive neurological conditions, with a particular emphasis on translating robotic innovation into evidence-based clinical practice. Castelli's most influential contributions include systematic reviews that bridge the gap between emerging robotic therapies and clinical guidelines for stroke rehabilitation — work that has collectively garnered over 225 citations — and his pioneering development of the pediAnklebot, a child-specific impedance-controlled robotic device designed to rehabilitate ankle function in young patients aged 6–10. His investigations into cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, and Friedreich's ataxia demonstrate an exceptional breadth across patient populations, while his methodological contributions — including establishing minimum clinically important differences for pediatric gait measures — have given clinicians essential tools for interpreting treatment outcomes. With over 680 citations across his top-cited works, Castelli's research has measurably shaped international rehabilitation practice. His career reflects a sustained commitment to making robotic neurorehabilitation more accessible, rigorous, and child-centered, offering profound hope for patients whose recovery options were once severely limited.
