About
Laura Mori is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on restoring motor function in stroke survivors through innovative robotic and assistive technologies. Her work bridges the gap between neural recovery mechanisms and practical therapeutic interventions. In her highly cited 2013 study, Mori demonstrated how robotic-assisted gait training can modulate postactivation depression in hemiplegic stroke patients, providing crucial insights into spinal plasticity and motor recovery. More recently, she has pioneered the use of soft supernumerary robotic hands—a groundbreaking approach that enables task-specific training even for patients with severe finger extension deficits. This 2022 pilot study, though early-stage, offers a promising pathway for upper limb rehabilitation in sub-acute stroke, addressing a critical gap in current therapy. With over 40 citations across her key works, Mori’s contributions are shaping how clinicians integrate robotics into personalized rehabilitation protocols. Her research not only advances scientific understanding of post-stroke neural adaptation but also delivers tangible tools for improving patient outcomes, making her a vital voice in the field of assistive neurotechnologies.
