About

Elisabetta Peri is a researcher specializing in pediatric rehabilitation engineering, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted therapies for children with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI). Her work sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering and clinical rehabilitation, combining quantitative measurement approaches with real-world therapeutic outcomes. Peri's most influential contribution examines how the dose and duration of Robot-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) affect walking ability in children with CP, a study that has accumulated 46 citations and addresses a critical gap in understanding optimal rehabilitation protocols. Complementing this, her research on the Armeo®Spring robotic system demonstrated measurable improvements in upper limb movement velocity and fluidity, garnering 21 citations and strengthening the evidence base for robotic upper limb rehabilitation in pediatric populations. A distinctive thread throughout her work is the development of novel quantitative performance metrics to objectively monitor robotic rehabilitation progress — an important methodological advance for a field often reliant on qualitative assessment. She has also explored the metabolic benefits of gait training, reflecting a holistic view of rehabilitation outcomes. Her cumulative contributions have meaningfully advanced understanding of how robotic technologies can be systematically and effectively applied in pediatric neurological rehabilitation.
