About
Fabrizio Gilardi is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on the integration of robotic technologies into clinical practice. His work bridges engineering, human factors, and child-centered care, addressing the critical gap between technological innovation and real-world pediatric application. In his highly cited pilot study (19 citations), Gilardi investigated the introduction of robotic neurorehabilitation in an Italian pediatric hospital, systematically evaluating the responses of physiotherapists, young patients, and their parents. This research provided foundational insights into the human factors—such as usability, acceptance, and emotional impact—that determine the success of robotic therapy in children. By demonstrating that robotic tools can be effectively and positively integrated into pediatric settings, Gilardi has helped shape a more patient- and family-oriented approach to neurorehabilitation. His work is instrumental in guiding the design of future interventions, ensuring that technological advances translate into meaningful, accessible, and compassionate care for children with neurological conditions.
