About
Vincenzo Monaco is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and motor control, with a focus on understanding how robotic technologies restore movement after neurological injury. His work bridges biomechanics, neurophysiology, and rehabilitation engineering to uncover the mechanisms driving recovery. In his highly cited 2015 study (37 citations), Monaco demonstrated that robot-assisted gait training using the Lokomat orthosis not only improves motor performance in post-stroke patients but also modifies Motor Unit firing patterns—a key insight into how robotic therapy reshapes neural control of movement. This contribution has helped shift the field from merely measuring functional outcomes to probing the neurophysiological basis of rehabilitation. Monaco’s research has significant implications for designing more effective, evidence-based therapies for stroke survivors. His work is widely recognized for advancing the integration of robotics into clinical practice, offering a deeper understanding of how technology can enhance neural plasticity and motor recovery.
