About
Pierina Viviana Clerici is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in robot-aided therapy for upper limb recovery after stroke. Her work focuses on developing and evaluating robotic rehabilitation protocols to improve motor function and independence in patients with chronic hemiparesis. Clerici’s most influential study, with 60 citations, demonstrated the clinical efficacy of the ReoGo™ system in a cohort of 19 chronic stroke patients, showing significant improvements in motor impairment and functionality. She further advanced the field with a longitudinal study (22 citations) that assessed both short-term and long-term outcomes of serial robotic training, revealing sustained benefits at a six-month follow-up. Her research is notable for its rigorous observational design and emphasis on real-world clinical translation, providing critical evidence for integrating robotics into standard rehabilitation. Clerici’s contributions have helped establish robot-assisted therapy as a viable, evidence-based intervention for chronic stroke survivors, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and patient-centered care. Her work continues to influence rehabilitation protocols worldwide, offering hope for enhanced recovery and quality of life.
