About

G. Troisi’s research focuses on assistive technologies for fall prevention and mobility support in aging populations, particularly through the development and clinical evaluation of wearable exoskeletons. Their most notable contribution is the design and testing of an exoskeleton human body posturizer, a device aimed at improving postural stability and reducing fall risk in the “young old” (individuals aged 65–75). In a landmark randomized controlled trial published in 2016, Troisi demonstrated that this exoskeleton significantly enhanced balance and reduced fall incidence, with the study accumulating 27 citations and serving as a foundational reference in geriatric rehabilitation engineering. This work bridges biomechanics, human-robot interaction, and clinical gerontology, offering a practical, non-pharmacological intervention for age-related mobility decline. Troisi’s research is particularly impactful for its focus on proactive, wearable solutions that empower older adults to maintain independence. By combining rigorous clinical methodology with innovative hardware design, Troisi has advanced the evidence base for exoskeleton-based fall prevention, influencing both rehabilitation protocols and the development of next-generation assistive devices. Their contributions are essential reading for students and researchers in gerontechnology, rehabilitation robotics, and aging research.
