About
Mauricio Coll is a researcher in neurorehabilitation and motor control, with a focus on understanding and improving upper limb function in stroke survivors. His work investigates the critical disconnect between actual motor ability and perceived capability—a phenomenon that often leads to learned non-use of the affected limb and hinders recovery. In his most-cited study, "Chronic stroke survivors underestimate their upper limb motor ability in a simple 2D motor task" (2024, 5 citations), Coll demonstrated that chronic stroke patients systematically underestimate their motor performance in a controlled reaching task, revealing a mismatch between objective ability and self-assessment. This finding has important implications for designing more effective neurorehabilitation strategies that address both physical and perceptual barriers to recovery. By highlighting how inaccurate self-perception can limit functional independence and participation in therapy, Coll’s work contributes to a growing body of research aimed at bridging the gap between motor capacity and real-world arm use. His research is particularly relevant for clinicians and engineers developing assistive technologies and personalized rehabilitation protocols for stroke survivors.
