About
Lorenza Maistrello is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the recovery of upper limb function after stroke. Her work focuses on developing predictive models and analyzing muscle synergy patterns to personalize and optimize therapy for stroke survivors. Maistrello’s major contributions include creating data-driven models that predict which patients will benefit most from robot-assisted hand rehabilitation, enabling more targeted and effective treatment. Her 2021 paper on this topic has garnered 14 citations, reflecting its impact on clinical decision-making. In her most recent 2025 study, she advanced the field by characterizing motor recovery through muscle synergy analysis, identifying distinct patterns of neural reorganization in responders versus non-responders to upper limb therapy. This work, part of a multicenter randomized controlled trial, offers novel insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying rehabilitation outcomes. Maistrello’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, providing tools that help clinicians tailor interventions and improve functional recovery. Her achievements position her at the forefront of precision rehabilitation, with implications for both inpatient and outpatient stroke care.
