About
Valerio Gower is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, with a focus on restoring upper limb function and supporting independent living for individuals with neurological conditions. His work spans stroke rehabilitation, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and cost-effective healthcare solutions. Gower’s major contributions include the validation of robotic devices for finger training in subacute stroke patients, demonstrating high reliability, validity, and discriminant ability (85 citations). He also developed frameworks for selecting upper limb rehabilitation robots based on clinical goals (41 citations) and compared the efficacy of socially assistive robots versus virtual agents in rehabilitation tasks (25 citations). Notably, his real-world cost analysis of technological versus conventional rehabilitation in Italy (14 citations) provides crucial economic evidence for adopting robotic therapies. Gower was a key contributor to the ENRICHME project, which integrated robots, sensors, and care platforms to assist elderly people with MCI at home (10+ citations). His work on the HR1 robot for healthcare applications further underscores his commitment to practical, scalable assistive solutions. With over 200 total citations, Gower’s research is pivotal in bridging robotics, clinical rehabilitation, and health economics, offering tangible pathways to improve patient outcomes and system efficiency.
