About
Anne-Marie Pinard is a leading researcher in the neurorehabilitation of chronic pain, with a particular focus on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Her work bridges the gap between sensory neuroscience and clinical rehabilitation, exploring how altered body perception and disrupted proprioception contribute to persistent pain states. In her most-cited study (2018, 41 citations), Pinard systematically disentangled the relationships between limb position sense and limb movement sense in CRPS patients, demonstrating that these distinct sensory deficits are differentially affected and linked to distorted body perception. This finding has profound implications for targeted rehabilitation strategies, moving beyond generic pain management to address specific sensorimotor impairments. Pinard’s research is notable for its rigorous experimental design and its direct translation to clinical practice, offering new avenues for interventions such as mirror therapy and sensory retraining. Her work has been instrumental in reshaping how clinicians understand and treat the complex interplay between perception, movement, and pain, making her a key voice in the field of pain neuroscience and rehabilitation.
