About
Andrea Merlo is a prominent researcher specializing in robotic rehabilitation, motor function assessment, and neurological recovery, with a particular focus on applying advanced technology to improve outcomes for patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injury. His work has significantly advanced the evidence base for robot-assisted gait training, culminating in widely adopted systematic reviews and clinical guidelines — most notably his 2021 paper on robotic gait rehabilitation following stroke, which has garnered 125 citations and stands as a key reference for clinicians worldwide. Merlo has made substantial contributions to upper limb rehabilitation through his development and validation of instrumental indices for assessing motor function using robotic exoskeletons, including normative values for accuracy, speed, and movement smoothness. These tools have proven invaluable for objective, quantitative evaluation in both adult and pediatric populations, including children with cerebral palsy and acquired brain injuries. His research spans the full spectrum from clinical application to space robotics, reflecting exceptional breadth. Collectively, his publications have accumulated nearly 380 citations, underscoring his influence across rehabilitation medicine, bioengineering, and neuroscience communities. Merlo's work continues to shape evidence-based clinical practice in neurorehabilitation globally.
