About

Elisa Gervasoni is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the application of electromechanical and robotic devices for gait and balance recovery. Her work critically advances the field by systematically evaluating how these technologies can restore mobility in both adult and pediatric populations with neurological disabilities. In her highly cited 2021 scoping review (49 citations), Gervasoni established a foundational framework for classifying studies on robotic neurorehabilitation, directly addressing a key challenge that had hindered progress in the field. She further demonstrated the potential of these devices for children, showing how intensive, task-specific training can foster neuroplasticity and functional recovery. Extending her impact beyond the clinic, Gervasoni is pioneering the integration of digital tools into home-based care. Her recent TELENEURO@REHAB protocol (2024) outlines a randomized controlled trial to validate telerehabilitation for chronic neurological disorders, aiming to ensure continuity of care when in-person access is limited. Through these contributions, Gervasoni is shaping the future of accessible, technology-driven rehabilitation.
