About

Simona Cerulli is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the application of robotic-assisted gait training for neurological disorders. Her work systematically evaluates how robotic devices can restore walking function in patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson’s disease. Her most impactful contribution, a 2021 systematic review on robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation following stroke, has garnered 125 citations and provides critical clinical recommendations for integrating robotics into post-stroke care. She has also authored comprehensive reviews on gait robotics for multiple sclerosis (38 citations) and spinal cord injury (30 citations), establishing evidence-based guidelines that bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. Her work on Parkinson’s disease (30 citations) further underscores her commitment to translating robotic rehabilitation into practical, patient-centered protocols. Notably, Cerulli contributed to the CICERONE Italian Consensus, a landmark initiative to standardize robotic rehabilitation across Italy. Through her rigorous systematic reviews, she has shaped clinical decision-making, offering clear protocols for device selection, training intensity, and outcome evaluation. Her research empowers clinicians to harness robotics effectively, improving mobility and autonomy for patients with debilitating gait impairments.
