About
Giuseppa Maresca is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and robotics, whose work is reshaping recovery for individuals with stroke and severe brain injury. Her primary research areas include robotic neurorehabilitation, body representation, and cognitive rehabilitation using humanoid robots. Maresca’s major contributions lie in demonstrating how robotic technologies can enhance both motor and non-motor outcomes in chronic stroke patients. In her preliminary EEG-based study (32 citations), she revealed that robotic neurorehabilitation can positively alter body representation, offering new pathways for treating post-stroke perceptual deficits. Her pilot study on overground robotic gait training (28 citations) further showed significant improvements in non-motor symptoms like mood and quality of life. Notably, her work with humanoid robots for cognitive rehabilitation in patients with severe acquired brain injury (12 citations) addresses a critical gap in multidisciplinary care, providing evidence that technology can sustain functional gains and improve quality of life. With a growing citation impact, Maresca is a leading voice in translating cutting-edge robotics into tangible clinical benefits, making her research essential for students and clinicians advancing neurorehabilitation.
