About
M. Bortolami is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and neural engineering, with a focus on restoring motor function after stroke. Their work centers on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying recovery, particularly through the integration of robotic assistance and brain-computer interface technologies. Bortolami’s most cited study, a 2018 prospective pilot investigation, quantified upper limb motor recovery and EEG power changes following robot-assisted bilateral arm training in chronic stroke patients. This work demonstrated that combining robotic therapy with electroencephalographic monitoring can reveal the neural correlates of motor improvement, offering a pathway to more personalized rehabilitation. With 58 citations, the study has informed subsequent research on closed-loop rehabilitation systems. Bortolami’s contributions bridge the gap between clinical motor assessment and real-time brain activity analysis, advancing the development of adaptive neurorehabilitation tools. Their research is particularly notable for its focus on chronic stroke populations, where recovery is often limited, and for its innovative use of EEG to track cortical plasticity. By linking measurable changes in brain rhythms to functional gains, Bortolami has helped lay the groundwork for next-generation therapies that respond dynamically to a patient’s neural state.
