About
Antongiulio Bruschetta is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neuropsychology, rehabilitation technology, and aging. His primary research areas include limb apraxia in multiple sclerosis, gait rehabilitation after stroke, and the application of virtual reality and robotic exoskeletons in neurorehabilitation. Bruschetta’s major contribution lies in exploring how semi-immersive virtual reality can treat limb apraxia—a condition he aptly calls the “Cinderella of neuropsychology” due to its historical neglect. His 2022 study on this topic, with 17 citations, has drawn attention to an underserved cognitive-motor deficit. Additionally, his 2021 retrospective case-control study on the Lokomat Free-D system demonstrated that intensive gait training is both feasible and effective for older chronic stroke patients, garnering 12 citations. This work challenges ageist assumptions in rehabilitation. Bruschetta’s research is notable for bridging cutting-edge technology with understudied clinical populations, offering practical, evidence-based pathways for improving motor and cognitive outcomes in neurological disorders. His findings have implications for designing more inclusive, tech-driven therapies for aging and disabled individuals.
