About
Fabio Pilato is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on restoring sensory feedback for upper limb prosthetics. His work centers on the critical yet often overlooked role of proprioception—the sense of body position and movement—in enabling natural, dexterous control of artificial limbs. In his highly cited 2023 review, "Integration of proprioception in upper limb prostheses through non-invasive strategies," Pilato systematically analyzed how proprioceptive feedback can be delivered without surgical implants, highlighting its potential to dramatically improve prosthetic functionality and user embodiment. With 22 citations in just two years, this work has already shaped the direction of non-invasive sensory restoration research. Pilato’s contributions bridge a significant gap in the field, where most studies prioritize touch restitution over the equally essential sense of movement and position. His insights are guiding the development of more intuitive, closed-loop prosthetic systems that feel like natural extensions of the body, offering profound implications for amputees seeking seamless interaction with their environment.
