About
Florencia Garro is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and rehabilitation engineering, whose work is defining the future of personalized neurorehabilitation. Her primary focus is on developing neuromechanical biomarkers—quantifiable physiological and kinematic signals—that can transform how clinicians assess and treat upper-limb motor impairments. Garro’s most impactful contribution is her 2021 paper on "Neuromechanical Biomarkers for Robotic Neurorehabilitation" (43 citations), which addresses the critical challenge of translating robotic therapy from the lab to clinical practice by enabling objective patient evaluation and decision-making. She is also the driving force behind the NeBULA protocol (2023), a standardized benchmarking framework that brings much-needed rigor to comparing robotic rehabilitation technologies. Demonstrating her commitment to open science, Garro has created and shared multimodal datasets—such as Reach&Grasp (2025) and an EEG-EMG dataset (2025)—that capture whole upper-limb movement, tactile data, and electrophysiological responses during exoskeleton-assisted tasks. These resources are invaluable for researchers developing active prostheses and assessing neural recovery. With her work accumulating over 58 citations in just a few years, Garro is establishing the foundational tools needed to make robot-assisted therapy more effective, measurable, and widely accessible.
