About
Francesca Fiori is a leading researcher in the field of neuroprosthetics, with a primary focus on restoring sensory feedback for upper limb amputees. Her work bridges the critical gap between prosthetic function and natural movement, particularly through the integration of proprioception—the body’s sense of limb position and motion. In her highly cited 2023 review, "Integration of proprioception in upper limb prostheses through non-invasive strategies," Fiori highlights how most prosthetic research prioritizes touch restitution, often neglecting the role of proprioception in enabling dexterous, effortless movement. This seminal work has already garnered 22 citations, underscoring its influence in reshaping research priorities. By advocating for non-invasive strategies that combine proprioceptive and tactile feedback, Fiori is pioneering a more holistic approach to prosthetic design. Her contributions are vital for developing next-generation prostheses that feel more natural and intuitive, ultimately improving quality of life for users. Fiori’s work is essential reading for students and researchers in neural engineering, rehabilitation robotics, and human-machine interfaces.
