About
Marta Imamura is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, focusing on motor recovery after stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work bridges cutting-edge technology and clinical practice, particularly through the application of robot-assisted therapy (RT) and constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). In a landmark randomized clinical trial (2021, 26 citations), she demonstrated that both RT and CIMT significantly improve upper limb function in chronic stroke survivors, providing evidence-based options for rehabilitation. Imamura also pioneered the use of electroencephalography (EEG) as a biomarker for functional recovery in SCI patients (2021, 17 citations), offering a non-invasive tool to track cortical plasticity and guide therapy. Her case report on proximal tibia fracture during robotic treadmill training (2015, 20 citations) highlighted critical safety considerations, advocating for pre-therapy bone densitometry. With over 90 citations across her most influential papers, Imamura’s research has shaped protocols for stroke and SCI rehabilitation, emphasizing personalized, data-driven approaches. Her work continues to inspire clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize recovery through innovative therapies and neurophysiological insights.
