About
Daniela Casasanta is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focus on integrating robotic technologies into clinical practice to improve outcomes for children with neurological conditions. Her major contributions center on understanding the human factors—encompassing physiotherapists, young patients, and their families—that influence the successful adoption of robotic therapy in hospital settings. Her most-cited work, a 2020 pilot study conducted in an Italian pediatric hospital, has garnered 19 citations and provides critical insights into the feasibility and acceptance of robotic neurorehabilitation. This research highlights how technology can enhance traditional therapy by offering precise, repeatable movements and engaging interfaces, while also addressing barriers such as training needs and emotional responses. Casasanta’s work is notable for bridging engineering and patient-centered care, making her a key figure in translating robotic innovations into real-world pediatric rehabilitation. Her studies continue to shape guidelines for implementing assistive technologies, ensuring they are not only effective but also welcomed by the children and caregivers they aim to serve.
