About
Takakuni Maki is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on post-stroke gait recovery and the integration of advanced neuromodulation technologies. His work centers on restoring motor function in stroke survivors by combining closed-loop brain stimulation with robotic gait training—a novel approach that addresses the persistent gait disturbances affecting daily life for many patients. Maki’s key contributions include pioneering the use of real-time, feedback-driven stimulation to enhance corticospinal tract activation, improving hip, knee, and ankle control during the swing phase of gait. His 2023 case report on this combined therapy, though recently published with 7 citations, has already garnered attention for its translational potential, offering a promising path for personalized rehabilitation. By bridging neuroscience and engineering, Maki is shaping next-generation interventions that could significantly boost mobility and independence in chronic stroke populations, making his work a vital resource for clinicians and researchers in neurorehabilitation.
