About

Dr. Sara De Angelis is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in leveraging sensor-based technologies to improve motor function in patients with neurological disorders, particularly multiple sclerosis (MS). Her most cited work, a 2020 randomized controlled trial, demonstrated the efficacy of interactive, sensor-driven therapy games for upper limb rehabilitation in MS patients, marking a significant shift from traditional physiotherapy to engaging, data-driven interventions. This study, with 28 citations, has laid critical groundwork for integrating wearable sensors and gamification into clinical practice, enhancing patient motivation and treatment precision. Beyond this flagship paper, Dr. De Angelis’s research portfolio explores the intersection of biomechanics, digital health, and patient-centered outcomes, contributing to a growing evidence base that supports cost-effective, home-based rehabilitation solutions. Her work is widely recognized for bridging engineering innovation with clinical application, and she is frequently invited to speak at international rehabilitation conferences. By advancing accessible, sensor-based therapies, Dr. De Angelis is shaping the future of personalized neurorehabilitation, empowering patients with MS to regain independence and quality of life.
