About
Marina Zettin is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and mechatronics, specializing in the development of robotic systems for motor recovery. Her work focuses on designing innovative devices that leverage electro-pneumatic control to assist patients with gait and movement disorders. Zettin’s major contributions include the creation of P.I.G.R.O. (Pneumatic Interactive Gait Rehabilitation Orthosis), an active exoskeleton that imposes precise lower-limb movements to retrain motor patterns in individuals with neurological impairments. Alongside the Bra.Di.P.O. prototype, these tools represent a novel approach to robotic neurorehabilitation, blending engineering precision with clinical therapy. Her most-cited paper, “P.I.G.R.O.: An Active Exoskeleton for Robotic Neurorehabilitation Training Driven by an Electro-Pneumatic Control” (2017), has garnered 11 citations, while her earlier work on “Bra.Di.P.O. and P.I.G.R.O.” (2014) has 8 citations, reflecting growing interest in her translational research. Zettin’s devices are notable for their potential to personalize motor learning programs, offering new pathways for recovery in clinical settings. Her work continues to inspire advancements in assistive robotics and patient-centered rehabilitation.
