About
Michela Agostini is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the application of robotic and haptic technologies for upper limb recovery after stroke, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. Her work bridges the critical gap between research evidence and clinical practice, as demonstrated by her highly cited systematic review of guidelines for upper limb robotic rehabilitation (56 citations). She has pioneered the use of haptic-based neurorehabilitation, leading a prospective multicentre trial that validated a robotic hand prototype for post-stroke recovery (53 citations). Agostini’s contributions extend to developing prediction models for robot-assisted hand therapy and exploring brain-computer interfaces with sensorimotor closed-loop feedback for chronic stroke. Her comprehensive reviews have shaped the field, including an evidence-based analysis of robot-assisted arm therapy in multiple sclerosis and a key role in the CICERONE Italian Consensus Conference. With over 250 total citations, her work has been instrumental in establishing the clinical efficacy of robotic and virtual reality tools for motor re-learning, making her a pivotal figure in translating innovative technologies into tangible rehabilitation outcomes.
