About
Mauro Rossini is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in hybrid robotic systems for upper-limb recovery after stroke. His work uniquely integrates passive exoskeletons with EMG-triggered functional electrical stimulation (FES) to restore arm function in stroke survivors. Rossini’s most influential contribution is the development of the RETRAINER system, a hybrid robotic platform that combines lightweight, passive support with neuroprosthetic control, enabling patients to actively engage their own muscles during therapy. His 2021 paper on EMG-triggered FES robotic systems has garnered 59 citations, while his 2014 usability assessment of a robotic exoskeleton for daily living tasks has 50 citations, demonstrating significant impact in assistive technology. Rossini’s work has been validated through randomized controlled trials and kinematic analyses, showing sustained improvements in motor function at three-month follow-ups. As a key figure in the European RETRAINER project, he has advanced the field by proving that hybrid assistance—rather than full robotic control—can promote neuroplasticity and functional recovery. His research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable, patient-driven solutions for post-stroke rehabilitation.
