About
Silvia Alessandra Sirolli is a pioneering researcher in robotic neurorehabilitation, specializing in the development of innovative mechatronic systems for motor learning and gait recovery. Her work centers on active exoskeletons and soft robotic actuators designed to restore movement in patients with central nervous system injuries. Sirolli co-created P.I.G.R.O. (Pneumatic Interactive Gait Rehabilitation Orthosis), an active exoskeleton driven by electro-pneumatic control that imposes coordinated lower-limb movements to reproduce physiological walking patterns. She also contributed to Bra.Di.P.O., a complementary device for robotic neurotreatments, and investigated the influence of body weight support on joint kinematics during treadmill walking—providing essential reference data for defining robot-assisted gait trajectories. Her research extends to textile pneumatic muscles, exploring fabric-based actuators integrated into active clothing for upper-limb rehabilitation, offering a softer, more comfortable alternative to rigid exoskeletons. With over 35 citations across her most-cited works, Sirolli’s contributions are shaping the next generation of wearable, adaptive rehabilitation technologies, bridging mechanical engineering, control systems, and clinical neuroscience to improve outcomes for patients with movement disorders.
