About
Maria Grazia Maggio is a prominent rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic neurorehabilitation, virtual reality, and cognitive recovery across a range of neurological conditions. Her research has made significant contributions to understanding how innovative technologies can restore not only motor function but also cognitive and psychological wellbeing in patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. Maggio's most cited work (110 citations) established the theoretical groundwork for computerized cognitive training in stroke patients, while her subsequent studies demonstrated that combining robotic gait systems such as Lokomat and hand rehabilitation devices with virtual reality produces measurable cognitive and behavioral gains — findings that have collectively attracted hundreds of citations. Her investigations into body representation using EEG-based approaches and powered exoskeletons represent a forward-thinking dimension of her portfolio, exploring how patients neurologically reconstruct self-perception during robotic training. What distinguishes Maggio's contributions is her consistent focus on patient-centered outcomes, evidenced by her work on usability and patient perspectives in multiple sclerosis rehabilitation. Her multidisciplinary approach, spanning neuroscience, robotics, and psychology, has shaped modern rehabilitation pathways and continues to influence clinical practice internationally.
