About
Dr. Luigi Pranno is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted gait training for post-stroke recovery, particularly among elderly populations. His work systematically evaluates the clinical effectiveness of end-effector gait trainers and robotic exoskeletons, bridging the gap between advanced rehabilitation technology and geriatric care. Dr. Pranno’s seminal 2019 systematic review on end-effector gait trainers in older stroke patients (40 citations) provided critical evidence for integrating robotic devices into standard rehabilitation protocols, demonstrating significant improvements in gait parameters and functional mobility. His more recent 2025 scoping review further maps the evolving role of robot-assisted training, highlighting its potential to reduce disability and healthcare burdens in industrialized nations. By synthesizing clinical outcomes and identifying research gaps, Dr. Pranno’s contributions have shaped evidence-based practice, guiding clinicians and researchers toward more effective, technology-driven interventions for aging stroke survivors. His work underscores a commitment to improving quality of life and functional independence in one of the most vulnerable patient populations.
