About
Gabriella Di Girolamo is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation, specializing in the biomechanical analysis and treatment of gait disorders in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Her work bridges robotics and clinical assessment, with a focus on quantifying how robotic-assisted gait training reshapes both upper and lower body movement strategies. In her highly cited 2021 study, she introduced novel summary parameters—the Upper Body Profile Score (UBPS) and Gait Profile Score (GPS)—to systematically evaluate the effects of robotic therapy on diplegic children. This research provides critical insights into how such interventions influence not just lower limb mechanics but also compensatory trunk and arm movements, offering a more holistic view of motor recovery. With over 2 citations, her contributions are shaping evidence-based protocols for robotic rehabilitation, helping clinicians optimize training to improve functional mobility and quality of life. Di Girolamo’s work stands out for its innovative integration of robotics and motion analysis, making her a key voice in advancing pediatric neurorehabilitation.
