About

Simona Mrakic‐Sposta is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and biomedical engineering, whose work bridges quantitative neurophysiology and robotic-assisted therapy for stroke recovery. Her key research areas include quantitative EEG (qEEG) biomarkers, multiparameter patient assessment, and the optimization of upper limb motor rehabilitation. Dr. Mrakic‐Sposta’s major contributions center on developing predictive frameworks for recovery outcomes. Her seminal 2017 study (87 citations) demonstrated that qEEG metrics can forecast upper limb motor recovery in chronic stroke patients undergoing robot-assisted rehabilitation, offering a non-invasive tool to personalize therapy. She further advanced the field with a 2018 multiparameter approach (33 citations) that integrates instrumental and clinical assessments to provide a comprehensive view of post-stroke status, guiding more effective rehabilitation strategies. This work highlights her commitment to moving beyond single-outcome measures toward holistic, data-driven patient evaluation. Her research has significant implications for tailoring neurorehabilitation, reducing disability, and improving quality of life. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Mrakic‐Sposta is recognized for pioneering evidence-based, technology-enhanced interventions that empower clinicians to predict and enhance motor recovery, making her a key figure in the future of stroke rehabilitation science.
