About
Lorenzo Schinaia is a researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, rehabilitation engineering, and human-computer interaction. His work focuses on developing and validating innovative, technology-driven approaches for neuro-motor recovery, particularly in post-stroke rehabilitation. Schinaia’s major contributions lie in the design of integrated systems that combine high-resolution electroencephalography (HR-EEG), passive robotic devices, and immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environments. This multimodal framework allows for the synchronized monitoring of both cortical reorganization and kinematic performance during therapy. His most cited work, a 2015 proof-of-concept study with 59 citations, demonstrated the feasibility of this approach in sub-acute stroke patients, providing a powerful tool to assess and guide recovery by linking brain functional changes to motor improvements. A subsequent case study further detailed the system’s capacity to evaluate clinical and kinematic outcomes in a single patient. By pioneering methods to simultaneously track neural and physical recovery, Schinaia has laid crucial groundwork for closed-loop, personalized neurorehabilitation systems that could transform post-stroke care.
