About
Elisa Rosini is a leading researcher in biomechatronics and rehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on improving the quality of life for individuals with lower-limb amputations. Her work centers on the user-centered design of powered robotic transfemoral prostheses, where she bridges the gap between advanced engineering and real-world human needs. Rosini’s major contribution lies in systematically identifying and prioritizing the physical, psychological, and social challenges faced by transfemoral amputees. Her highly cited 2021 survey, with 38 citations, provides a foundational framework for integrating user feedback into prosthesis development, directly influencing how engineers design for comfort, control, and functionality. This work has been instrumental in shifting the field toward more empathetic, user-driven innovation. Rosini’s research is notable for its rigorous human factors evaluation, ensuring that technological advances—such as powered knee and ankle joints—are not only sophisticated but also genuinely responsive to the daily experiences and priorities of amputees. Her efforts are paving the way for more intuitive, adaptive prostheses that enhance mobility and independence.
