About

Dr. Katie Rousso is a leading researcher in geriatric rehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on fall prevention and physical activity promotion among older adults. Her most cited work, a 2023 pilot cohort study, investigates the effect of robotic delivery of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP)—a proven fall prevention regimen—on balance, stability, and physical conditioning in adults aged 65 and older. This innovative research bridges the gap between evidence-based exercise protocols and emerging robotic technologies, offering scalable solutions to address the high prevalence of falls and deconditioning in aging populations. With 5 citations already, her work is gaining traction for its practical implications in geriatric care. Dr. Rousso’s contributions are notable for their interdisciplinary approach, combining clinical rehabilitation science with human-robot interaction. Her findings highlight the potential for robotic systems to deliver supervised, personalized exercise interventions, reducing the burden on healthcare providers while improving older adults’ quality of life and longevity. As a rising voice in her field, Dr. Rousso’s research promises to reshape how we integrate technology into aging-in-place strategies.
