About

Lorenzo Andreani is a leading researcher in advanced prosthetics and surgical innovation, with a primary focus on restoring motor function for upper limb amputees. His major contributions center on the development of the **myokinetic prosthesis**, a groundbreaking approach that uses implanted magnets to control a prosthetic hand through residual muscle movements. In his landmark 2024 paper, "Restoration of grasping in an upper limb amputee using the myokinetic prosthesis with implanted magnets" (23 citations), Andreani demonstrated how this technology can restore sophisticated grasping abilities, significantly improving patients' independence and quality of life. His 2023 work on the MyoKinetic prosthetic hand (3 citations) further validated this approach, showing that implanted magnets can effectively decode motor intent. Additionally, his 2015 paper on patient-specific templates for spine surgery (3 citations) highlights his versatility in surgical planning. With a growing citation impact, Andreani’s work is pioneering a new era in neural rehabilitation, bridging the gap between advanced engineering and clinical practice to give amputees a more natural, intuitive control over their prosthetic limbs.
