About

Emiliana Bizzarini is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on robotic-assisted gait training for individuals with neurological disorders. Her work systematically evaluates how robotic devices can restore mobility and improve quality of life in patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Her most cited paper, a 2021 systematic review on robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation following stroke (125 citations), provides critical clinical guidelines for integrating robotics into post-stroke care. She has also authored comprehensive reviews on the use of gait robotics in MS (38 citations) and PD (30 citations), offering evidence-based recommendations for device selection, training protocols, and outcome measures. Bizzarini’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between emerging technology and practical clinical application, addressing the lack of standardized protocols in robotic rehabilitation. Her work is part of the CICERONE Italian Consensus, underscoring her role in shaping national and international rehabilitation standards. With a growing citation impact, Bizzarini is a key voice in advancing neurorehabilitation through rigorous evidence synthesis, helping clinicians and researchers harness robotics to improve functional outcomes in patients with disabling gait impairments.
