About
Dr. Gloria Perini is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the recovery of motor function after stroke. Her work focuses on integrating advanced technologies to restore upper limb movement in post-stroke patients. A major contribution is her pioneering investigation into the sequential application of myoelectrically controlled functional electrical stimulation (MeCFES) and robotic therapy. In her influential 2020 randomized controlled pilot study, cited 13 times, Dr. Perini demonstrated that this task-oriented, patient-driven approach—where individuals voluntarily control muscle contractions during functional movements—can significantly enhance recovery outcomes compared to conventional therapies. This work bridges the gap between patient intention and physical rehabilitation, offering a more engaging and effective pathway to motor recovery. Her research has been instrumental in shaping modern rehabilitation protocols, emphasizing the synergy between neuroprosthetics and robotics. Dr. Perini’s contributions continue to inspire new clinical strategies, making her a key figure in the quest to improve quality of life for stroke survivors through innovative, evidence-based interventions.
