About

Michela Bozzolan is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and evidence synthesis, with a primary focus on stroke recovery. Her major contributions center on evaluating the effectiveness of cutting-edge therapeutic technologies, specifically robot-assisted arm therapy and noninvasive brain stimulation techniques. Bozzolan’s research is distinguished by its rigorous methodological approach, as she specializes in conducting overviews of systematic reviews—a high-level synthesis that provides a comprehensive, reliable picture of the existing evidence. Her most cited paper, "Effectiveness of robot-assisted arm therapy in stroke rehabilitation: An overview of systematic reviews" (2022), has garnered 21 citations, reflecting its importance in clarifying two decades of research on robotic rehabilitation for upper limb function. More recently, her 2025 work on combining noninvasive brain stimulation with motor interventions after stroke demonstrates her forward-looking focus on multimodal treatment strategies. By distilling complex, often conflicting evidence into actionable conclusions, Bozzolan’s research directly informs clinical decision-making and helps guide future trial design. Her work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to understand which neurorehabilitation technologies truly benefit stroke survivors.
