About
Carmelo Lentino is a rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic technology and neurological recovery, with a particular focus on stroke survivors and Parkinson's disease patients. His research has made significant contributions to understanding how robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and balance rehabilitation can restore motor function and reduce fall risk in individuals with chronic neurological conditions. Among his most influential contributions, Lentino's 2020 pilot study on robotic balance and core stability training in stroke survivors (67 citations) demonstrated measurable improvements in trunk control and dynamic stability — critical factors in safe ambulation. His 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis (44 citations) provided a rigorous evaluation of RAGT's effectiveness on post-stroke balance, advancing evidence-based clinical practice. His work on Parkinson's disease (28 citations) similarly examined how robotic interventions address postural instability, one of the condition's most debilitating symptoms. A distinctive thread running through Lentino's research is his interest in bilateral motor learning — notably his finding that training the unimpaired arm can enhance paretic arm function and sitting balance, challenging conventional rehabilitation paradigms. Collectively, his work has accumulated over 180 citations, establishing him as a meaningful voice in technology-driven neurorehabilitation.
