About
Linda Cordo is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation, whose work centers on restoring motor function in individuals with severe, chronic stroke-induced impairments. Her key research areas include sensorimotor integration, therapeutic device development, and the coupling of motor and sensory systems to remediate neurological deficits. Cordo’s most significant contribution is the development of the Assisted Movement with Enhanced Sensation (AMES) therapeutic approach, a novel method that pairs assisted movement with augmented sensory feedback to reduce paresis in chronic stroke patients. Her landmark 2008 phase I clinical trial, cited over 110 times, demonstrated that even patients with long-standing, severe motor impairments could achieve meaningful functional gains—challenging the prevailing assumption that recovery plateaus after six months. This work laid the foundation for a new class of rehabilitation devices that leverage sensory enhancement to drive neuroplasticity. Cordo’s research has had a lasting impact on the field, bridging engineering and clinical neuroscience to create practical, evidence-based interventions that improve quality of life for stroke survivors.
