About
Alessandro Scano is a prominent researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, human motor control, and ergonomic technology, whose work has significantly advanced our understanding of how the human body coordinates movement in both clinical and industrial contexts. His research spans upper-limb biomechanics, stroke rehabilitation robotics, wearable exoskeletons, and neuromuscular analysis, with a particular focus on translating scientific insights into practical assistive tools. Scano's most impactful contribution — his 2020 evaluation of the Proto-MATE exoskeleton (142 citations) — demonstrated how passive wearable devices can meaningfully reduce physical strain in industrial workers, bridging ergonomics research and real-world application. His influential studies on kinematic and muscle synergies in hand grasping (95 and 40 citations, respectively) have provided foundational frameworks for prosthetics design and motor assessment. In stroke rehabilitation, he has pioneered multiparameter and EEG-based approaches to predict and monitor recovery outcomes (87 citations), while exploring how robotic assistance reshapes motor modules in survivors. More recently, his 2024 scoping review on muscle synergies consolidates the field's progress. Cumulatively, his work reflects a committed effort to make rehabilitation smarter, industry safer, and human-robot collaboration more attuned to operator wellbeing.
