About
Fabio Santacaterina is a rehabilitation researcher specializing in robotic-assisted therapy, neuroplasticity, and motor recovery following neurological injury, with a particular focus on upper limb and hand rehabilitation after stroke. His work sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering and clinical rehabilitation science, exploring how advanced robotic technologies can be meaningfully integrated into therapeutic practice. Santacaterina's most influential contributions include pioneering investigations into home-based robotic rehabilitation for chronic stroke patients, a study that has garnered 34 citations and underscores his commitment to expanding access to care beyond clinical settings. His research into muscular synergies and hand motion analysis has deepened understanding of how the central nervous system adapts following robot-aided interventions (21 citations). Notably, he has extended this work to pediatric stroke populations, demonstrating the versatility of platforms such as Gloreha Sinfonia across age groups (21 citations). Beyond motor outcomes, Santacaterina has explored the cognitive benefits of robotic therapy and innovated assessment tools, including a fuzzy-logic model for evaluating patients' psychophysiological states during treatment. His systematic reviews synthesizing evidence on brain stimulation combined with robotic gait training further establish his role as a rigorous synthesizer of emerging evidence. Collectively, his portfolio reflects a researcher dedicated to translating technology into meaningful, patient-centered rehabilitation outcomes.
