About
Rene Maura is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering and clinical neuroscience, specializing in the quantitative assessment and restoration of upper-limb function following neurological injury. Her work focuses on developing novel, technology-driven methods to overcome the limitations of traditional subjective clinical scales. Maura’s most impactful contribution is her comprehensive literature review on stroke assessment, which critically evaluated the reliability of EEG, EMG, kinematic, and kinetic measurements for upper-extremity physical function. Garnering 80 citations since 2023, this work has become a foundational resource for researchers seeking objective, reliable biomarkers of motor impairment. Building on this foundation, Maura is the lead developer of the **BLUE SABINO**, a bilateral upper-limb exoskeleton designed for the simultaneous assessment of both biomechanical and neuromuscular output. This innovative platform promises to disentangle the complex, underlying sources of motor dysfunction, offering a more holistic view of impairment than conventional single-modality tools. By merging robotic precision with neurophysiological sensing, Maura is pioneering a new paradigm for personalized rehabilitation, directly addressing the critical need for objective, multi-faceted diagnostics in the field.
