About
Massimiliano Mangone is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in integrating advanced robotic technologies with pharmacological interventions to restore motor function after stroke. His work centers on the synergistic use of end-effector robotic devices and botulinum toxin injections for upper limb recovery in chronic post-stroke patients. In his most cited 2021 study, Mangone demonstrated that a combined protocol of conventional exercise, robotic training, and botulinum toxin yields superior functional outcomes compared to robotic training alone, a contribution that has garnered 23 citations and reshaped clinical rehabilitation strategies. He has also critically evaluated the assessment capabilities of the Armeo® Power, a widely used robotic exoskeleton, though his 2023 paper on this topic has been retracted. Despite this, his foundational work continues to influence the design of integrated, patient-centered rehabilitation pathways. With a career dedicated to bridging robotics and clinical neurology, Mangone’s research remains essential reading for those seeking to optimize post-stroke recovery through multimodal, evidence-based interventions.
