About
Giuseppe Lamola is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in robotic exoskeletons and neuroplasticity-driven recovery after stroke. His major contributions center on developing electromyography (EMG)-controlled hand exoskeletons for bilateral rehabilitation, notably a device with adaptive kinematics and a free-palm design that enhances patient comfort and grasp training. His work on neuroplastic changes following brain ischemia has provided critical insights into how spared neural pathways reorganize, informing novel rehabilitation strategies. Lamola’s most-cited paper (341 citations) demonstrates the clinical impact of his robotic hand exoskeleton, while his randomized control study (54 citations) rigorously evaluates the efficacy of three-dimensional upper limb robotic training in chronic stroke patients. He has also pioneered the use of EEG to predict motor improvement after robotic therapy, bridging neural biomarkers with rehabilitation outcomes. With over 600 total citations across his portfolio, Lamola’s research integrates cutting-edge robotics, neuroscience, and clinical trials to advance functional recovery, making him a key figure in translating engineering innovations into tangible therapeutic benefits for stroke survivors.
