About
Riccardo Aliberti is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on the transformative potential of robot-aided gait training for individuals with severe neurological conditions. His primary research areas include neurorehabilitation, geriatric physiotherapy, and the application of robotic exoskeletons like the Lokomat system. Aliberti’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of intensive, technology-driven gait therapy in populations often excluded from such interventions. His most cited study (2021, 12 citations) is a retrospective case-control analysis showing that intensive Lokomat training is both feasible and effective for chronic stroke patients of advanced age, challenging assumptions about age-related limitations in rehabilitation. In a notable case report (2021, 2 citations), he pioneered the use of robot-aided gait training for Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS)—a rare upper motor neuron disorder—providing the first evidence that this approach can be safely and beneficially applied. By pushing the boundaries of who can benefit from robotic rehabilitation, Aliberti’s work opens new avenues for restoring mobility in aging and underserved clinical populations.
