About
Maurizio Ferrarin is a leading figure in the fields of rehabilitation robotics, human movement analysis, and neurorehabilitation. His research focuses on developing and evaluating robotic systems to restore motor function in individuals with neurological disorders, particularly multiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke. Ferrarin’s major contributions include pioneering robot-based rehabilitation protocols for upper limb dysfunction, demonstrating feasibility and efficacy in MS patients through pilot studies (80 and 75 citations). He has also advanced the understanding of motor recovery by analyzing kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic data, as exemplified by his highly cited dataset on human locomotion (181 citations). His work on post-stroke rehabilitation, including randomized controlled trials (58 and 54 citations), has shown that robot therapy can improve arm function and alter muscle synergies. Ferrarin has also contributed to the ergonomic assessment of wearable robots, such as active pelvis orthoses (51 citations), and explored how tool-use shapes body representation (20 citations). His notable achievements include leading multi-center trials and developing outcome measures like co-contraction indices (25 citations). With over 500 total citations, Ferrarin’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering evidence-based solutions for motor rehabilitation.
