About

M.V. Padma Srivastava is a leading figure in stroke neurology and neurorehabilitation, whose work bridges cutting-edge technology with clinical neuroscience. Her primary research focuses on post-stroke recovery mechanisms, neuroplasticity, and the development of innovative rehabilitation technologies. She is best known for her pioneering randomized controlled trial on robotic hand exoskeleton therapy, which demonstrated significant evidence of neuroplastic changes and functional recovery in stroke survivors—a study that has garnered over 120 citations and reshaped rehabilitation protocols. Her contributions extend to understanding the neural basis of motor recovery, employing neurophysiological measures to validate therapeutic interventions. With a career marked by high-impact publications, Srivastava’s work has been instrumental in advancing evidence-based neurorehabilitation, earning her recognition as a thought leader in the field. Her research not only illuminates the brain’s capacity for repair but also translates directly into improved patient outcomes, making her a vital resource for students and clinicians alike.
