About

Giorgio Sandrini is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, with a career dedicated to advancing motor recovery after neurological injury, particularly stroke. His research centers on the intersection of robotics, haptic technology, and motor learning, exploring how these tools can be harnessed to restore hand and limb function. A landmark contribution is his 2013 feasibility multicentre trial on haptic-based neurorehabilitation for poststroke patients, which demonstrated the clinical potential of a robotic hand prototype to exploit motor learning mechanisms for recovery. This work, cited over 50 times, has helped pave the way for integrating haptic feedback into rehabilitation protocols, offering new hope for patients with severe motor impairments. Sandrini’s impact extends beyond this study; he is recognized for bridging engineering and clinical practice, shaping how technology can be applied to neurorehabilitation. His research continues to influence the design of patient-centered robotic therapies, making him a key voice in the field. For students and researchers, Sandrini’s work exemplifies how rigorous clinical trials can translate innovative engineering into tangible improvements in patient outcomes.
