About
F. Patarini is a researcher at the forefront of neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in the intricate dynamics of human-robot interaction during motor recovery. Her work lies at the intersection of neuroscience, physiotherapy, and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on how visual feedback and therapist engagement shape the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training. In her highly cited 2024 study, Patarini employed a novel combination of eye-tracking and high-density EEG to dissect the roles of visual feedback and physiotherapist-patient interaction during treadmill-based robotic-assisted gait training (t-RAGT). This work critically examines how introducing a robot as a “third agent” alters the traditional therapeutic dyad, offering empirical insights into optimizing patient engagement and neural recovery. By quantifying the cognitive and attentional demands of this triadic interaction, Patarini’s research provides a foundational framework for designing more adaptive, patient-centered robotic rehabilitation protocols. Her contributions are pivotal for advancing closed-loop systems that respond not only to motor output but also to the patient’s real-time cognitive state, marking a significant step toward smarter, more intuitive neurorehabilitation technologies.
