About
Dr. Josep Medina-Casanovas is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery through innovative neuromodulation and robotic technologies. His major contributions center on developing and testing combined therapies to restore upper limb function in individuals with cervical SCI. In his landmark 2023 clinical trial, he demonstrated that pairing transcutaneous cervical spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) with robotic exoskeleton rehabilitation significantly improves arm and hand motor control—a critical priority for independence and quality of life in this population. This work, already garnering 25 citations, bridges the gap between neurophysiological principles and practical rehabilitation engineering. Dr. Medina-Casanovas’s research is notable for its translational impact, directly addressing the urgent clinical need for effective, non-invasive interventions. His findings offer a promising pathway to enhance neural plasticity and functional recovery, positioning him as a key figure in advancing assistive technologies for SCI.
