About
Jana Stürmer is a clinical neuroscientist whose research focuses on neurorehabilitation and motor recovery after stroke, with a particular emphasis on robot-assisted therapy and its effects on brain plasticity. Her most cited work, a 2021 case-control study, investigates the behavioral and neurophysiological effects of intensified robot-assisted upper extremity training in subacute stroke patients. This study, which has garnered 43 citations, demonstrates how physical training can induce measurable changes at both neurophysiological and behavioral levels, leading to improved motor performance for trained movements. Stürmer’s contributions are significant in bridging the gap between rehabilitation engineering and clinical neuroscience, showing how technology-enhanced therapies can promote neural reorganization and functional recovery. Her work is highly relevant for researchers and clinicians seeking evidence-based approaches to optimize post-stroke rehabilitation protocols. By exploring the dose-response relationship of robot-assisted interventions, Stürmer provides critical insights into how intensity and timing of therapy can maximize recovery outcomes, making her research a valuable resource for students and professionals in neurorehabilitation and motor learning.
