About
Luca Puce is a researcher whose work centers on neurorehabilitation, motor control, and innovative assistive technologies for stroke recovery. His primary contributions lie in developing and testing soft robotic devices—specifically, a soft supernumerary hand—to restore upper limb function in patients with subacute stroke. This pilot study, his most cited work with 9 citations, addresses a critical gap: many stroke survivors lack the active finger extension needed for conventional task-specific training. By introducing a compliant, wearable robotic aid, Puce enables these patients to engage in therapy earlier, potentially accelerating functional recovery. His research bridges engineering and clinical practice, emphasizing patient-centered solutions for motor impairment. While early in his career, Puce’s work signals a promising trajectory in rehabilitation robotics, with implications for expanding access to effective post-stroke care. His findings offer a tangible pathway to improve quality of life for individuals with limited motor function, marking him as an emerging voice in the field of soft robotics for neurorehabilitation.
