About

Lucrezia Moggio is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in post-stroke motor recovery of the upper limb. Her work focuses on the intersection of robotic-assisted therapy and non-invasive brain stimulation to restore hand and finger function after stroke. Moggio’s most impactful contribution is a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis comparing exoskeleton versus end-effector robot-assisted therapy for finger-hand motor recovery in stroke survivors (2021, 63 citations). This study provided critical evidence guiding clinical decisions on which robotic device yields superior outcomes. She has also advanced the field by investigating the adjunctive use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with robot-assisted therapy (2021, 18 citations), exploring how combining these modalities may enhance neuroplasticity and functional gains. Her work addresses a pressing clinical need: the high prevalence of residual hand disabilities among stroke survivors. By systematically evaluating therapeutic efficacy and exploring synergistic interventions, Moggio has helped shape evidence-based rehabilitation protocols. Her research is essential reading for clinicians and engineers developing next-generation neurorehabilitation technologies, and her findings continue to influence both clinical practice and the design of future robotic and neuromodulatory interventions.
