About
Carlo Damiani is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on restoring motor function after neurological injury. His primary research areas include robot-assisted therapy and non-invasive physical modalities for stroke recovery. Damiani’s major contributions center on developing and evaluating innovative interventions to improve hand function and reduce spasticity in stroke patients. In his landmark 2014 study, he demonstrated that intensive robot-assisted hand therapy significantly enhances recovery of hand function in acute stroke patients, a finding that has garnered 86 citations and helped establish robotic rehabilitation as a viable clinical tool. He also pioneered the use of localized 100 Hz vibration therapy, showing in a double-blind controlled trial that selective vibration of the triceps brachii can effectively reduce upper limb spasticity and improve function—a work cited 47 times. Damiani’s research is notable for its rigorous experimental designs, including randomized-controlled and double-blind methodologies, which have advanced evidence-based practice in neurorehabilitation. His work continues to influence clinical protocols and inspire new approaches to motor recovery after stroke.
