About
Francesco Lena is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on multiple sclerosis (MS) and the management of spasticity through physiotherapy. His most cited work, a 2018 systematic review on the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions for spasticity in people with MS, has garnered 58 citations, establishing a foundational evidence base for clinical practice. Lena’s major contribution lies in synthesizing and evaluating diverse therapeutic approaches—ranging from stretching and strengthening to advanced modalities—to determine their efficacy in reducing spasticity and improving patient mobility and quality of life. By adhering to rigorous PRISMA guidelines, his research provides clinicians with clear, actionable insights, bridging the gap between rehabilitation science and real-world application. Beyond this hallmark study, Lena continues to explore innovative physiotherapy protocols, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes and functional recovery. His work has been instrumental in shaping guidelines for MS rehabilitation, making him a pivotal figure for students and researchers dedicated to advancing non-pharmacological interventions in neurology.
