About
Giuliana Grimaldi is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on robotic and haptic technologies for restoring upper-limb function after neurological injury. Her work centers on the development and clinical validation of devices that assess and rehabilitate wrist and hand movement, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and practical clinical application. A key contribution is her investigation into the functional impacts of exoskeleton-based rehabilitation, comparing multi-joint versus single-joint robotic training in chronic stroke survivors. This study, which has garnered 22 citations, provides critical evidence for optimizing therapy protocols to maximize motor recovery. Grimaldi also introduced the "Wristalyzer," a novel myohaptic device designed to objectively assess wrist function both in the lab and clinic, cited 12 times for its potential to standardize evaluation metrics. Her work is notable for its direct translational impact, offering clinicians data-driven tools to personalize rehabilitation. By combining engineering precision with a deep understanding of motor control, Grimaldi’s research continues to shape how robotic systems are used to promote functional independence in individuals with neurological impairments.
