About
Tatsuya Mima is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on integrating brain stimulation and robotic technologies to restore motor function after neurological injury. His work centers on the intersection of non-invasive brain stimulation, closed-loop systems, and gait rehabilitation, particularly for post-stroke patients. In a landmark 2023 case report, Mima introduced a novel closed-loop brain stimulation approach combined with robot-assisted gait training, targeting impaired corticospinal control of hip, knee, and ankle movements during the swing phase of gait. This pioneering study, though early in its citation impact, demonstrates a paradigm shift toward personalized, feedback-driven neurorehabilitation. Mima’s broader contributions include elucidating how cortical plasticity can be harnessed to improve motor recovery, with his work accumulating over 1,500 citations across his career. He has also been instrumental in advancing the understanding of brain–machine interfaces for stroke rehabilitation. His research is notable for its translational ambition, directly addressing the long-lasting gait disturbances that limit daily activity in most post-stroke patients, and his innovative closed-loop system represents a significant step toward more effective, adaptive therapies.
