About
Giulia A. Albanese is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, focusing on the assessment and recovery of wrist function in individuals with neurological disorders and traumatic injuries. Her work bridges biomechanics, human–robot interaction, and sensorimotor neuroscience to develop novel robotic tools for both diagnosis and therapy. Albanese’s major contributions include pioneering robot-aided rehabilitation protocols for post-stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, as demonstrated in her highly cited randomized controlled trial on wrist robot-aided orthopedic rehabilitation (25 citations). She has also advanced the understanding of proprioception, revealing how wrist position sense varies across two-dimensional space and is affected by muscle fatigue. Her research on robotic systems for upper-limb rehabilitation in MS, including adaptive training programs and cross-education techniques, has been recognized with over 100 total citations. Notably, her work on assessing wrist rigidity and pain in post-traumatic patients using robotic methods provides a novel, objective approach to clinical evaluation. Albanese’s recent investigations into muscle fatigue monitoring and human–robot interaction forces further underscore her impact, making her a key figure in the development of intelligent, patient-centered rehabilitation technologies.
