About
Valeria Cipollini is a rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurological recovery, robotic therapy, and cognitive neuroscience, with a particular focus on stroke rehabilitation. Her most influential contribution, "Robotic Rehabilitation: An Opportunity to Improve Cognitive Functions in Subjects With Stroke" (2020, 49 citations), demonstrated that robotic therapy may offer benefits beyond motor recovery, opening new possibilities for addressing the cognitive impairments that affect up to three-quarters of stroke survivors. Building on this foundation, Cipollini has investigated how specific cognitive domains influence the effectiveness of upper limb robotic rehabilitation, providing clinicians with a more nuanced understanding of patient stratification and outcome prediction. Her 2021 work examining serotonin's role in post-stroke cognitive recovery adds a compelling neurobiological dimension to her research portfolio, bridging neuroscience and clinical rehabilitation. More recently, she has turned her attention to telerehabilitation, comparing robotic and non-robotic remote models to expand access to care for patients in home-based settings. Across her body of work, Cipollini consistently advances evidence-based approaches to stroke recovery, making her research highly relevant to clinicians, neuroscientists, and rehabilitation engineers alike.
