About
Chiara Arienti is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on evidence synthesis for robot-assisted therapy and stroke recovery. Her work systematically evaluates the effectiveness of robotic and noninvasive brain stimulation interventions for upper limb rehabilitation, gait, and balance in neurological conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. She has authored highly cited papers, including a systematic review of guidelines for upper limb robotic rehabilitation after stroke (56 citations) and an overview of systematic reviews on robot-assisted arm therapy (21 citations). Arienti also highlighted a critical gap in rehabilitation research with her paper on “usual care” as an unmanaged problem (21 citations), underscoring her commitment to improving clinical trial methodology. She contributed to the CICERONE Italian Consensus Conference on robot-assisted arm therapy and led mapping syntheses of Cochrane reviews for spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Her meta-analyses on robotic training for Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis further demonstrate her impact. With over 130 citations across her most-cited works, Arienti’s research bridges evidence and practice, advancing the quality of rehabilitation care for patients with neurological disabilities.
