About
Marco Broccoli is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on the intersection of psychology and motor recovery after stroke. His work investigates how psychologic features, such as mood and motivation, influence rehabilitation outcomes, particularly in patients undergoing robotic-aided walking therapy. In his highly cited 2013 study, Broccoli demonstrated that patients’ and caregivers’ psychological profiles significantly affect the efficacy of robotic gait training in subacute stroke survivors. This pioneering work, which has garnered 59 citations, highlights the need for personalized rehabilitation strategies that address not only physical deficits but also emotional and cognitive factors. Broccoli’s contributions have advanced the understanding of how to optimize recovery by integrating psychological support into robotic therapy protocols. His research is instrumental for clinicians and scientists developing holistic, patient-centered neurorehabilitation programs, and it underscores the importance of considering the whole patient—mind and body—in the journey toward functional recovery after neurological injury.
