About
Federica Bressi is a prominent rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and clinical therapy, with a particular focus on restoring upper limb function in neurologically impaired patients. Her research spans stroke rehabilitation, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis, consistently pursuing innovative solutions where conventional therapies fall short. Bressi's most influential contribution — garnering 144 citations — demonstrated that non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation, when paired with robotic rehabilitation, meaningfully improves upper limb recovery post-stroke, offering a safer alternative to surgical approaches. She has further pioneered brain-computer interface-driven exoskeletons to restore activities of daily living in chronic stroke survivors, and explored psychophysiological adaptive control strategies that personalize robotic therapy to individual patients in real time. Beyond clinical innovation, Bressi has substantially shaped the field through rigorous systematic reviews and evidence syntheses — examining rehabilitation guidelines, robot-assisted arm therapy outcomes, and applications across diverse patient populations including children and individuals with cervical spinal cord injury. Her home-based robotic rehabilitation research reflects a commitment to extending these benefits beyond hospital settings. With over 440 cumulative citations across her most-cited works alone, Bressi's scholarship is actively informing how clinicians and engineers design the next generation of neurorehabilitation technologies worldwide.
