About

Giorgia Pregnolato is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, whose work focuses on the intersection of motor recovery, robotics, and smart technologies for stroke survivors. Her primary research areas include robot-assisted rehabilitation, muscle synergy analysis, and the integration of virtual reality and smart home systems for neurological recovery. Pregnolato’s major contributions involve developing predictive models to guide therapy for hand function after stroke—her 2021 paper on this topic has garnered 14 citations—and pioneering the use of muscle synergy patterns to clinically characterize upper limb motor recovery, as detailed in her 2025 study (8 citations). She also conducted a scoping review (2023, 8 citations) that critically examines the scientific concepts underlying motor recovery in clinical trials, helping to bridge theoretical models with practical interventions. Notably, her pilot study protocol (2024, 4 citations) explores the innovative combination of smart home automation, virtual reality, and robotics to create immersive rehabilitation environments. Pregnolato’s work is distinguished by its translational impact, offering data-driven tools to personalize therapy and improve outcomes for chronic stroke patients. Her research is essential reading for students and clinicians interested in cutting-edge, technology-enhanced approaches to neurorehabilitation.
