About
Salvatore Petrozzino is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the application of robotic and electromechanical technologies for upper limb recovery after neurological injury. His work focuses on bridging the gap between clinical evidence and practice, particularly for stroke survivors and patients with cervical spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis. Petrozzino’s major contributions include conducting systematic reviews and overviews that synthesize fragmented evidence, such as his 2021 paper identifying key recommendations for upper limb robotic rehabilitation after stroke (56 citations) and a comprehensive review on robotic therapy for cervical spinal cord injury (33 citations). He has also critically evaluated the effectiveness of robot-assisted arm therapy through overviews of systematic reviews (21 citations) and explored its cognitive benefits, a novel area in the field. Notably, Petrozzino contributed to the CICERONE Italian Consensus Conference, providing methodological frameworks for evidence synthesis in robotic rehabilitation. His work has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines and advancing the use of technology-driven therapies, with cumulative citations exceeding 148, making him a key voice in the translation of robotic neurorehabilitation research into practice.
