About

A. Di Santo is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and neuromodulation, with a primary focus on stroke recovery. Their most-cited study, "Safety, feasibility, and efficacy of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation combined with upper-limb robotic rehabilitation after stroke" (2018), explores a novel, non-invasive approach to enhancing motor function in stroke survivors. This work investigates the synergistic potential of combining vagus nerve stimulation with robotic therapy, aiming to promote neuroplasticity and improve upper-limb outcomes. While the citation count for this specific paper is modest, Di Santo’s contributions are notable for their pioneering integration of cutting-edge technologies—transcutaneous stimulation and robotics—into clinical rehabilitation protocols. Their research addresses a critical gap in post-stroke care, where traditional therapies often yield limited results. By demonstrating the safety and feasibility of this combined approach, Di Santo has laid groundwork for future trials that could transform rehabilitation practices. Their work underscores a commitment to translating innovative, patient-centered interventions from the lab to the clinic, offering hope for more effective recovery pathways in neurological rehabilitation.
