About

Dr. Elisa Pelosin is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on movement disorders and stroke recovery. Her work bridges the gap between clinical assessment and innovative therapeutic technologies. She is best known for her seminal review, "Rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease: Current outlook and future challenges," which has garnered over 440 citations and serves as a foundational text for understanding the evolving landscape of Parkinson's care. Dr. Pelosin’s research has significantly advanced the understanding of sensorimotor dysfunction, as demonstrated by her work differentiating somatosensory impairment in cervical dystonia phenotypes. She is also at the forefront of integrating technology into rehabilitation, having conducted pioneering studies on robotic-assisted locomotor training for spinal cord injury and robot-assisted therapy for post-stroke motor learning. Her recent work employs surface electromyography to quantify co-contraction in stroke survivors, providing crucial outcome measures for upper limb recovery. Through her high-impact publications, Dr. Pelosin has established herself as a key figure in developing evidence-based, technology-driven rehabilitation strategies that improve functional outcomes for patients with neurological conditions.
