About
Marco Capogrosso is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation and neuroprosthetics, whose work bridges the gap between neural engineering and clinical recovery. His research focuses on restoring motor function after neurological injuries, particularly through the development of advanced technologies that leverage the body’s natural biomechanics and sensory feedback. Capogrosso’s major contributions include pioneering a multidirectional gravity-assist algorithm that enhances locomotor control in patients with stroke or spinal cord injury, a breakthrough that has garnered 59 citations and reshaped gait rehabilitation by emphasizing gravity-dependent interactions. He also developed closed-loop control systems for trunk posture that improve locomotion by regulating leg proprioceptive feedback after spinal cord injury, a 40-citation study highlighting the critical role of sensory circuits in recovery. His 2015 work on neuroprosthetic technologies to augment neurorehabilitation’s impact has been widely cited (31 citations), underscoring his influence. Additionally, Capogrosso has advanced preclinical tools, such as robot-assisted neurosurgery for high-accuracy deep brain electrophysiology in monkeys and a versatile robotic platform for studying natural reaching and grasping. His innovative, interdisciplinary approach—combining robotics, electrical stimulation, and closed-loop control—positions him as a transformative researcher dedicated to translating neural insights into tangible improvements in mobility and quality of life for patients with neurological disorders.
