About
Fulvia Fichera is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on gait disorders and motor recovery in Parkinson’s disease. Her most cited work, a randomized single-blind clinical trial from 2022, quantitatively assessed the effects of robotic exoskeleton training using the EksoGT® system on parkinsonian gait. This study demonstrated significant improvements in stride length, velocity, and lower limb joint range of motion, offering compelling evidence for exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation as a targeted intervention for disabling motor symptoms. With 14 citations, this paper has already influenced clinical approaches to functional recovery. Fichera’s broader contributions lie at the intersection of biomechanics, neurology, and assistive technology, where she systematically evaluates how wearable robotics can restore mobility and quality of life in neurodegenerative conditions. Her work is notable for its rigorous experimental design and translational impact, bridging laboratory findings with practical rehabilitation protocols. As a researcher committed to evidence-based innovation, Fichera continues to shape how clinicians and engineers collaborate to address the motor challenges of Parkinson’s disease, making her a key voice in the evolving field of neurorehabilitation.
