About
Maria Accorinti is a pioneering neurorehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on leveraging robotic technologies to restore motor function in patients with severe neurological conditions. Her key research areas span stroke recovery, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), myotonic dystrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Accorinti’s most impactful contribution is a randomized clinical trial demonstrating that hand robotic rehabilitation can rebalance interhemispheric connectivity after chronic stroke, significantly improving motor function—a finding cited over 100 times. She has also explored innovative applications of robotic exoskeletons, showing they may boost neuroplasticity in myotonic dystrophy type 1 and offering promising tools for ALS patients with flail arm. Her feasibility study on the ERIGO device for treating orthostatic hypotension in PSP highlights her commitment to addressing understudied symptoms. Through her work, Accorinti has established herself as a leader in translating cutting-edge robotics into practical rehabilitation strategies, providing hope for patients with limited treatment options and advancing our understanding of neuroplasticity in chronic neurological diseases.
