About
Maddalena Mugnosso is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, neurorehabilitation, and human motor control. Her work focuses on developing robotic devices to assess and treat neuromuscular disorders, with a particular emphasis on understanding muscle fatigue and its impact on movement accuracy and proprioception—the body’s sense of limb position. Her most cited paper, “Perspectives and Challenges in Robotic Neurorehabilitation” (2019, 120 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of how novel technologies are transforming clinical rehabilitation. Mugnosso’s major contributions include pioneering methods to quantify muscle fatigue during robot-mediated tasks, such as her novel sEMG-based assessment technique (2017) and studies showing that sustained wrist contractions impair hand-tracking accuracy (2020, 15 citations). She has also characterized forearm muscle activity during dynamic wrist movements using robotic devices (2020, 18 citations), advancing our understanding of fatigue’s role in motor performance. With over 250 total citations, her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering objective tools for evaluating recovery in conditions like stroke and neuromuscular diseases. Her achievements highlight the potential of robot-aided assessment to personalize rehabilitation and improve patient outcomes.
