About
Laura Cortellini is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the use of robotics and digital technologies to restore upper limb function after stroke. Her work bridges the gap between cutting-edge engineering and clinical practice, focusing on personalized, robot-assisted therapy (RAT) and its effects on both motor recovery and brain reorganization. In a key study (2023, 22 citations), she demonstrated that RAT is comparable to conventional therapy in improving daily arm function, while her 2024 retrospective analysis (12 citations) established a framework for tailored robotic protocols, addressing the critical need for individualized treatment. Cortellini has also pioneered investigations into cortical plasticity, showing in a pilot RCT (8 citations) that bilateral robotic training can restore interhemispheric symmetry. Expanding access to care, she evaluated telerehabilitation models (6 citations), proving the safety and effectiveness of home-based robotic therapy for subacute stroke patients. Her most recent work (2025) explores aperiodic EEG changes following virtual reality–enhanced robotic rehabilitation, opening new avenues for understanding brain recovery. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating innovation into real-world solutions, Cortellini is shaping the future of stroke rehabilitation.
