About
Valentina Ponassi is a researcher at the forefront of rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in proprioceptive assessment and training. Her work bridges the gap between robotic technology and clinical neuroscience, aiming to quantify and treat sensory-motor deficits that often go undetected in standard evaluations. Her most-cited paper, "Robotic techniques for the assessment of proprioceptive deficits and for proprioceptive training" (2018), has garnered 3 citations, establishing a foundational framework for using robotic devices to objectively measure joint position sense and movement perception. This contribution is particularly significant for patients recovering from stroke or neurological injury, where proprioceptive loss can severely impair motor control. Ponassi’s research emphasizes the development of precise, repeatable robotic protocols that not only diagnose deficits but also deliver targeted, adaptive training to restore sensory feedback. By integrating engineering principles with clinical application, she is helping to define a new standard for personalized rehabilitation. Her work represents a critical step toward making robotic therapy a routine tool for improving quality of life in neurorehabilitation.
