About
Paolo Rossi is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, whose work focuses on restoring hand function after stroke through intelligent, robot-assisted therapy. His major contributions lie in developing and validating robotic systems that can autonomously adapt training difficulty based on real-time patient performance, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2014 pilot study (100 citations). Rossi’s landmark 2020 randomized control trial (107 citations) provided strong evidence that neurocognitive robot-assisted rehabilitation significantly improves motor recovery in subacute stroke patients. More recently, he has pioneered the concept of unsupervised robot-assisted therapy, showing in his 2024 feasibility study (21 citations) that patients can safely and effectively increase therapy dose without direct therapist supervision. His work on automatic, personalized adaptation of therapy parameters (2022, 13 citations) and progressive transition protocols from supervised to unsupervised care (2023) addresses a critical bottleneck in rehabilitation: scaling up therapy intensity without overwhelming healthcare resources. With over 246 total citations, Rossi’s research is shaping the future of accessible, data-driven stroke rehabilitation, bridging the gap between clinical efficacy and real-world practicality.
