About
Edoardo Sotgiu is a prominent researcher at the intersection of robotic rehabilitation engineering, human-machine interfaces, and assistive technologies, with a particular focus on upper limb recovery following stroke and orthopedic injury. His work has made substantial contributions to the development of robotic exoskeletons designed to restore reaching, grasping, and fine motor function in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. Among his most influential contributions is the development of a full upper limb exoskeleton system driven by motor imagery brain-computer interfaces, enabling stroke patients to initiate rehabilitation through intentional neural control — a landmark study that has garnered 65 citations. His 2022 randomized clinical trial (54 citations) provided rigorous evidence for the efficacy of three-dimensional robotic exoskeleton training in chronic stroke populations, meaningfully advancing evidence-based rehabilitation practice. Sotgiu has also pioneered novel underactuated hand exoskeleton designs (37 citations) and virtual reality-integrated robotic systems for orthopedic forearm rehabilitation (34 citations), broadening the clinical applications of robotic physiotherapy. With over 280 cumulative citations across his body of work, Sotgiu's research continues to shape the design and clinical implementation of intelligent rehabilitation technologies, offering meaningful improvements in patient outcomes and quality of life following debilitating neurological events.
