About
Paolo De Pasquale is a researcher at the intersection of motor control, rehabilitation engineering, and human-machine interaction. His work focuses on exploiting the redundancy of the human motor system—specifically, the muscle-to-force null space—to enable simultaneous control of natural and artificial end-effectors, a concept with profound implications for motor augmentation and assistive robotics. He has made major contributions to the estimation of endpoint forces from surface electromyography (EMG), systematically comparing linear approaches to improve the accuracy of force prediction for robotic control. His research also advances the clinical application of virtual reality (VR) and gamification for neuromuscular rehabilitation, as evidenced by a 2025 systematic review (11 citations) highlighting the potential of immersive technologies to enhance motor recovery. De Pasquale has further explored the use of head-mounted displays for kinematic analysis in post-stroke patients (20 citations) and the efficacy of end-effector robotic gait training in chronic stroke survivors. With a growing citation impact, his work bridges fundamental motor neuroscience and practical rehabilitation technology, offering novel pathways for restoring and augmenting human movement.
