About
Raffaella Armiento is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on restoring mobility and balance in patients with neurological disorders. Her work primarily addresses spasticity and postural instability following stroke and in Parkinson’s disease. In a landmark 2019 pilot study, she demonstrated the synergistic benefits of combining isokinetic robotic training with botulinum toxin type A injections to treat spastic equinus foot in chronic stroke survivors, achieving 42 citations and paving the way for integrated pharmacological–technological interventions. Expanding her impact, a 2021 randomized controlled trial showed that tailored robotic platform training significantly improved postural stability in mild Parkinson’s disease compared to conventional therapy, garnering 38 citations and highlighting the potential of precision robotics in early-stage care. Armiento’s contributions are distinguished by rigorous single-blind, randomized designs that provide high-quality evidence for emerging rehabilitation technologies. Her work not only advances clinical practice but also inspires further investigation into personalized, technology-driven therapies for movement disorders, making her a pivotal figure in modern neurorehabilitation.
