About
Maria Elena Pugliese is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focused expertise in developing robotic systems to restore motor function after neurological injury. Her most impactful work centers on the design and clinical validation of the Automatic Recovery Arm Motility Integrated System (ARAMIS), a novel robotic prototype for rehabilitating the paretic upper limb following stroke. Her seminal 2017 paper detailing the ARAMIS prototype and treatment protocol has garnered 16 citations, establishing a foundational framework for integrating robotic assistance with functional recovery. Pugliese’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between engineering design and clinical application, creating a system that promotes active patient participation while delivering precise, repetitive therapy. Her work is notable for its patient-centered approach, targeting the critical window for neuroplasticity. By advancing accessible, technology-driven rehabilitation, Pugliese is shaping the future of post-stroke care, offering new hope for improved upper limb function and quality of life.
