About
Raffaella Riso is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted gait training for stroke survivors. Her work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of how technology can restore mobility in patients with severe motor impairments. Her most cited paper, "Who May Have Durable Benefit From Robotic Gait Training?" (2011, 87 citations), established a critical clinical insight: robotic therapy is most effective for severely affected patients, offering them a path to independent walking that conventional therapy alone often cannot provide. This finding has shaped rehabilitation protocols worldwide, ensuring that limited resources are directed to those who will benefit most. Riso’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, demonstrating that patient selection is key to maximizing durable outcomes. Her contributions have been instrumental in moving robotic gait training from experimental settings into standard care for the most challenging cases, and her work continues to influence how rehabilitation technologies are designed and deployed.
