About
Paul Cordo is a neuroscientist and rehabilitation engineer whose work sits at the intersection of motor control, sensorimotor integration, and stroke recovery. Best known for developing the Assisted Movement with Enhanced Sensation (AMES) paradigm, Cordo pioneered a therapeutic approach that couples robot-assisted movement with proprioceptive stimulation and biofeedback to address motor deficits in stroke survivors — a population for whom conventional rehabilitation frequently fails. His landmark 2008 clinical trial introducing AMES has garnered over 113 citations, establishing it as a foundational contribution to neurorehabilitation. Cordo's research has progressively expanded this framework from the hand and upper limb to lower limb function and gait, demonstrating its versatility across multiple clinical applications. His 1994 work on movement control, with 48 citations, reflects his deep grounding in the basic science of how the nervous system coordinates purposive movement across the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral sensory systems. More recent randomized clinical trials and case series studies have continued validating robotic-assisted training during both subacute and chronic stroke phases. Collectively, Cordo's body of work has meaningfully shaped how clinicians and researchers approach recovery in patients with severe neurological impairment.
