About
Fabrizio Sergi is a biomedical engineer and neuroscientist whose research sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, human motor control, and sensorimotor neuroscience. His work spans tactile and proprioceptive feedback systems, robot-assisted rehabilitation for stroke survivors, and the neural mechanisms underlying motor learning and adaptation. An early contribution — his 2008 paper on vibrotactile feedback bracelets for forearm orientation guidance — demonstrated the effectiveness of wearable haptic devices for motor skill teaching, garnering 55 citations and establishing his interest in intuitive sensory communication for movement rehabilitation. More recently, Sergi has advanced the field by developing MRI-compatible robotic platforms to directly probe brainstem contributions to long-latency motor responses — work that addresses longstanding methodological barriers in reticulospinal tract research. His modeling of neuromotor adaptation during robot-aided gait training integrates error-based and use-dependent learning mechanisms, offering clinicians richer theoretical frameworks for optimizing therapy protocols. His pilot studies on proprioceptive training after chronic stroke further reflect a commitment to translating engineering innovations into patient-centered rehabilitation solutions. Across these contributions, Sergi consistently bridges fundamental neuroscience with practical robotic systems designed to restore and enhance human movement.
