About
Jiani Ma is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on post-stroke motor recovery. Her work systematically investigates how combining non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) with robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) can enhance lower extremity function and restore patient independence. Ma’s major contribution lies in providing the first comprehensive, evidence-based synthesis of this synergistic approach; her landmark 2025 meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (7 citations) critically evaluates the efficacy of these combined interventions, offering clear clinical guidance for optimizing rehabilitation protocols. By bridging neuromodulation and robotic therapy, her research addresses a key gap in stroke rehabilitation, demonstrating that integrated treatments can yield superior outcomes compared to either modality alone. Ma’s work is highly impactful for both clinicians designing post-stroke care and engineers developing next-generation rehabilitation devices. Her systematic review has quickly become a foundational reference in the field, underscoring her role as a pivotal figure advancing evidence-based, technology-driven recovery strategies for stroke survivors.
