About
Carlotta Martinuzzi is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the application of advanced technologies to restore motor function after neurological injury. Her work primarily focuses on stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS), investigating how robot-assisted gait training (RAGT), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and action observation therapy can be optimized for patient recovery. A major contribution is her rigorous evaluation of these interventions through randomized controlled trials. Her 2016 study on combining tDCS with robotic therapy for upper limb stroke rehabilitation (108 citations) demonstrated that the timing and type of stroke critically influence treatment outcomes. Similarly, her 2015 trial on RAGT in progressive MS (94 citations) showed significant improvements in gait and quality of life. Notably, her 2019 RAGTIME study (59 citations) provided a crucial counterpoint, finding that RAGT was not superior to intensive overground walking, challenging assumptions about technology-driven therapy. Her work is highly impactful, with over 286 total citations, and she continues to pioneer novel protocols, such as integrating EEG monitoring with action observation therapy for post-stroke arm recovery.
