About
Mirko Di Rosa is an Italian researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation medicine, gerontology, and assistive technology, with a particular focus on improving outcomes for older adults living with neurological conditions. His research has made significant contributions to understanding how robotic and technology-assisted interventions can support recovery and quality of life in patients with stroke and Parkinson's disease. His most-cited work, a 2019 systematic review on end-effector gait trainers in older stroke patients (40 citations), established an important evidence base for robotic rehabilitation in geriatric care. Building on this, he has led and co-designed multiple randomized controlled trial protocols exploring robotic technologies for Parkinson's disease rehabilitation, reflecting his commitment to translating innovation into clinical practice. Notably, Di Rosa also ventured into the social dimensions of assistive technology, developing the Robot Era Inventory (2022), a validated scale measuring older adults' acceptance of social robotics — a tool with broad implications for human-robot interaction research. Across his portfolio, Di Rosa's work underscores a sustained dedication to evidence-based, person-centered technological rehabilitation for aging populations.
