About
Placido Bramanti is a prominent Italian neuroscientist and rehabilitation medicine researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of technology-driven neurological recovery. Based at IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo in Messina, Italy, Bramanti has built a distinguished career at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, robotics, and digital therapeutics, with a particular focus on stroke and neurological disorder recovery. His most celebrated contributions centre on robotic-assisted rehabilitation and virtual reality interventions for patients recovering from stroke, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions. His 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis on robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation has garnered nearly 400 citations, establishing foundational evidence for clinical practice. Complementary work exploring robotic gait training and the neurological mechanisms underlying virtual reality-enhanced motor learning — including EEG-verified evidence of brain plasticity — has collectively attracted over 750 citations, demonstrating remarkable scholarly influence. Bramanti has also investigated the psychological dimensions of recovery, examining how self-efficacy and post-stroke depression intersect with rehabilitation outcomes. His multicenter randomised controlled trials on powered exoskeletons further reflect his commitment to rigorous clinical validation of emerging technologies. Across more than a decade of prolific output, Bramanti's research has meaningfully advanced both the science and clinical application of modern neurorehabilitation.
