About

Nicoletta Cinone is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the intersection of robotic technology and motor recovery for patients with neurological disorders. Her work primarily focuses on balance rehabilitation and postural instability, particularly in post-stroke survivors and individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Cinone’s major contributions include demonstrating the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) for improving balance in post-stroke patients, as evidenced by her highly cited 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis (44 citations). She has also pioneered combination therapies, such as integrating isokinetic training with botulinum toxin type A to treat spastic equinus foot in chronic stroke survivors (42 citations), and has shown that tailored robotic platform training can significantly enhance postural stability in mild Parkinson’s disease (38 citations). Her pilot randomized controlled trials are notable for their rigorous, single-blind designs, providing high-quality evidence that informs clinical practice. Cinone’s research is instrumental in advancing personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation strategies, making her a key figure in modern neurorehabilitation.
