About
Elisa Casoni is a researcher dedicated to improving motor rehabilitation for older adults with neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular conditions, with a particular focus on Parkinson’s disease and stroke. Her work centers on evaluating the potential of robotic-based technologies to enhance balance and gait training in these populations. In a landmark 2020 study (30 citations), she designed an innovative protocol for a randomized controlled trial investigating robotic-assisted rehabilitation for older people with Parkinson’s disease, addressing the critical challenge of postural instability that often leads to falls. Her 2022 follow-up (12 citations) provided preliminary evidence on the acceptability and effectiveness of technology-assisted balance training, highlighting its promise for improving quality of life. Casoni has also extended her expertise to stroke rehabilitation, authoring a 2021 protocol for a robotic training intervention aimed at restoring gait function in subacute stroke survivors. By bridging cutting-edge robotics with evidence-based rehabilitation, Casoni is at the forefront of developing scalable, technology-driven interventions that could transform care for aging populations, offering new hope for maintaining mobility and independence.
