About

Paolo Perrotta is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on technology-assisted therapies for stroke recovery. His work bridges neuroscience and robotics, exploring how exoskeleton and robotic devices can enhance motor recovery in patients with brain lesions. Perrotta’s most-cited study, "Exoskeleton-Robot Assisted Therapy in Stroke Patients: A Lesion Mapping Study" (2018), has garnered 28 citations and provides critical insights into how lesion location influences response to robotic therapy. This research highlights the potential of end-effector and exoskeleton robots to deliver high-intensity, repetitive, and task-specific treatment—key elements for promoting neuroplasticity and functional recovery. By integrating lesion mapping with rehabilitation outcomes, Perrotta’s work helps personalize therapy protocols, offering a roadmap for more effective, data-driven interventions. His contributions are shaping the future of stroke rehabilitation, demonstrating how technology can augment therapist-led care and improve patient outcomes. For students and researchers, Perrotta’s research underscores the transformative role of robotics in clinical neuroscience, paving the way for smarter, more adaptive rehabilitation strategies.
