About

Diego Centonze is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on movement disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). His work bridges clinical neurology and physiotherapy, aiming to quantify and improve motor symptoms through evidence-based interventions. Centonze’s major contributions include a landmark systematic review on physiotherapy for spasticity in MS (58 citations), which provided critical guidance for clinical practice by synthesizing the effectiveness of various physical therapy modalities. More recently, he has advanced the understanding of rigidity in Parkinson’s disease, objectively measuring the velocity-dependent effects of levodopa (2025, 5 citations)—a study that fills a gap in quantitative evidence and sheds light on neural mechanisms. His research is notable for its translational impact, directly informing rehabilitation strategies for patients with chronic neurological conditions. Centonze’s work has been widely cited, reflecting its influence on both clinical practice and future research directions. He continues to push the boundaries of objective motor assessment, making him a key figure in the evolving field of neurorehabilitation.
