About
Paolo Moretti is a leading figure in the field of pediatric neuro-rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in adaptive robotic assistance for upper-limb recovery. His research centers on developing intelligent robotic systems that can modulate assistance in real-time during therapy, particularly for training coordinated wrist movements—a critical yet often overlooked component of motor recovery. Moretti’s major contributions include pioneering the design and clinical testing of robotic wrist trainers that adaptively adjust support based on patient performance, a breakthrough for treating conditions like stroke and dystonia in young patients. His most cited work, "Robotic wrist training after stroke: Adaptive modulation of assistance in pediatric rehabilitation" (2017), has garnered 37 citations, underscoring its influence in shifting rehabilitation paradigms from shoulder-elbow focus to distal joint training. Additionally, his pilot study on a subject affected by dystonia (2014, 7 citations) demonstrated the feasibility of online modulation for complex movement disorders. By addressing the gap in wrist-specific robotic therapy, Moretti has advanced personalized, engaging interventions that enhance motor competence and functional independence in children.
