About
Margherita Canesi is a leading clinical researcher in neurodegenerative movement disorders, with a primary focus on progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Parkinson’s disease. Her work bridges the critical gap between neurology and rehabilitation, exploring how multidisciplinary, non-pharmacological interventions can improve patient outcomes where medical treatments fall short. In her most-cited study (57 citations), Canesi demonstrated the effectiveness of two multidisciplinary rehabilitation approaches for PSP, including robot-assisted walking training—a novel application that challenges the prevailing therapeutic nihilism surrounding this condition. By systematically evaluating tailored physical and cognitive therapies, she has provided evidence that structured rehabilitation can enhance mobility, balance, and quality of life even in progressive, treatment-resistant disorders. Her contributions are particularly impactful given the absence of approved disease-modifying drugs for PSP, positioning her research as a vital resource for clinicians managing these patients. Canesi’s work underscores the importance of integrating rehabilitative strategies into standard care, offering practical hope for patients and families. Her ongoing investigations continue to shape best practices in neurorehabilitation, making her a respected voice in the movement disorders community.
