About
Vitalma Liotti is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in robotic-assisted therapy for post-stroke recovery. Her work focuses on integrating advanced technologies with conventional treatments to restore upper limb function in chronic stroke patients. Liotti’s major contributions include demonstrating the synergistic benefits of combining botulinum toxin injections with end-effector robotic training, a protocol shown to enhance motor recovery beyond robot use alone. Her influential 2021 study, cited 23 times, established this integrated rehabilitative approach as a promising strategy for reducing spasticity and improving arm mobility. Additionally, Liotti led the ROBOTAS observational multicenter study (21 citations), which identified key determinants of efficacy in robot-assisted training, comparing end-effector and exoskeleton devices to optimize patient outcomes. Through her work, Liotti has advanced personalized neurorehabilitation, providing evidence-based guidelines for clinicians. Her research underscores the potential of robotics to transform stroke rehabilitation, offering hope for improved quality of life in chronic patients. With a growing citation impact, Liotti continues to shape the field of robotic neurorehabilitation.
