About
A. Montesano is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on post-stroke recovery and robotic-assisted therapy. Their work centers on understanding and improving upper limb function in subacute stroke patients, particularly addressing the debilitating complication of poststroke shoulder pain. In a key 2020 study (14 citations), Montesano provided critical insights into the prevalence of neuropathic shoulder pain and its correlation with motor recovery, demonstrating that robotic and conventional treatments can both be effective, but pain significantly hinders progress. This secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized controlled trial underscores their commitment to evidence-based rehabilitation. Additionally, Montesano contributed to the foundational InTeReSt study (2018, 4 citations), which established the feasibility of integrating a set of robotic and sensor-based devices for upper limb rehabilitation. By bridging clinical outcomes with innovative technology, Montesano’s research directly informs more personalized and effective stroke rehabilitation protocols, making a tangible impact on patient quality of life and advancing the field of neurorehabilitation.
