About
Maria Gabriella Ceravolo is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and rehabilitation medicine. Her work focuses on developing and validating innovative robotic and wearable technologies to restore motor function in patients with neurological disorders, particularly Parkinson’s disease. Ceravolo’s most impactful contribution is her landmark randomized controlled trial on robot-assisted gait training for Parkinson’s disease, which has garnered 97 citations and demonstrated significant clinical improvements over traditional treadmill therapy. She has also pioneered frameworks for integrating collaborative robots into rehabilitation, emphasizing human-in-loop workflows that enhance patient safety and engagement. Her recent work explores cutting-edge architectures that combine commercial wearable sensors with social robots and edge-fog-cloud computing, creating scalable, data-driven rehabilitation ecosystems. Through her investigations of sensorimotor brain plasticity induced by robotic gait training, Ceravolo bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering evidence-based pathways to improve gait function. Her research is reshaping how technology supports recovery, making rehabilitation more personalized, accessible, and effective.
