About
Elena Beretta is a prominent researcher specializing in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on innovative technologies for children with neurological impairments including cerebral palsy and acquired brain injury. Her work sits at the intersection of clinical measurement science, robotic rehabilitation, and virtual reality-based therapies, consistently addressing some of the most pressing challenges in pediatric motor recovery. Among her most significant contributions is her work establishing minimum clinically important differences for key outcome measures in pediatric gait disorders, including the 6-Minute Walking Test and the Gross Motor Function Measure — tools now more meaningfully interpreted thanks to her 2020 study, which has garnered 90 citations. Her pioneering investigations into immersive virtual reality platforms (71 citations) and robot-assisted gait training in large pediatric populations (46 citations) have helped legitimize and refine these emerging therapeutic approaches. Beretta has also made meaningful strides in upper limb rehabilitation, exploring both robotic and comparative interventions for hemiplegic children. Her influence extends into national policy-shaping efforts, contributing to the Italian CICERONE consensus conference on robotic rehabilitation. Collectively, her research has accumulated hundreds of citations, making her an authoritative voice in translating cutting-edge technology into evidence-based pediatric rehabilitation practice.
