About
Giulia Lentini is a rising force in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in developing assistive technologies for post-traumatic hand recovery. Her most-cited work, a 2024 pilot study on powered metacarpal-phalangeal exoskeletons, directly addresses the critical challenge of hand joint stiffness—a condition that severely limits range of motion, grip strength, and the ability to perform simple grasps after injury. While robotic rehabilitation has been extensively applied to neurological patients, Lentini’s major contribution lies in pioneering its application for orthopedic trauma, bridging a significant gap in clinical care. Her pilot study, already garnering early citations, demonstrates the feasibility of using a powered exoskeleton to restore functional hand movements, offering a promising alternative to conventional therapy. This work not only highlights her innovative approach to mechatronic design and human-robot interaction but also underscores her commitment to translating engineering solutions into tangible patient outcomes. As her research gains traction, Lentini is positioned to make lasting impacts on both rehabilitation science and the daily lives of individuals recovering from hand injuries.
