About
Giorgia Marchesi is a biomedical and rehabilitation engineer whose research sits at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and clinical rehabilitation. Her work focuses on three interconnected domains: exoskeleton-assisted gait rehabilitation, robot-based balance assessment, and technology-driven therapeutic interventions for neurological populations. Marchesi's most-cited contribution examines how exoskeleton design choices — including assistance levels, mechanical structure, and walking aids — influence muscle activation patterns during gait rehabilitation, providing critical guidance for clinicians deploying these devices with patients experiencing severe motor deficits. Complementing this, her widely recognized lifespan study on balance quantified age-dependent changes in postural control across static and dynamic conditions, offering a foundational reference for understanding fall risk across the human lifespan. Her research extends meaningfully into neurological rehabilitation, developing and validating robotic assessment protocols for individuals with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries — populations where sensitive, objective measurement tools are urgently needed. A 2024 scoping review consolidating trunk control rehabilitation strategies further demonstrates her commitment to synthesizing evidence for clinical practice. With over 130 cumulative citations and a portfolio spanning pediatric handwriting robots to sarcopenia prevention, Marchesi exemplifies innovative, human-centered research that bridges engineering precision with genuine therapeutic impact.
