About
Francesca Falchini is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, health economics, and patient-centered care. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between advanced robotic technologies and their real-world clinical adoption, with a particular emphasis on upper limb rehabilitation for neurological disorders. Falchini’s major contributions include identifying critical barriers to robotic rehabilitation adoption among healthcare practitioners—a study that has garnered 16 citations—and providing the first Italian real-world cost analysis comparing technological versus conventional rehabilitation, demonstrating significant economic implications (14 citations). She has also systematically reviewed patient needs for robotics in rehabilitation (7 citations) and developed a multiaxial rehabilitation program for workers with COVID-19 sequelae, showcasing her work’s relevance to emerging health crises. Notably, Falchini conducted a feasibility pilot study on home-based robotic rehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting her commitment to accessible, technology-enabled care. Her research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based policies for integrating robotics into rehabilitation, making her a key voice in the movement toward more effective, cost-efficient, and patient-responsive neurorehabilitation.
