About
Costanza Pazzaglia is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on stroke recovery and the optimization of upper limb rehabilitation strategies. Her work critically examines the intersection of conventional therapy and emerging robotic technologies, seeking to identify which patient populations benefit most from each approach. In her landmark 2019 multicentre study for the Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi, Pazzaglia introduced cognitive reserve as a pivotal variable for tailoring rehabilitation. This research, which has garnered 26 citations, demonstrates that patients with higher cognitive reserve may derive greater benefit from robotic-assisted therapy, while those with lower reserve respond better to conventional treatment. By moving beyond a one-size-fits-all model, Pazzaglia’s contributions provide a framework for personalized neurorehabilitation, helping clinicians allocate resources more effectively and improve functional outcomes for stroke survivors. Her work stands as a significant step toward evidence-based, patient-centered care in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
