About
Dr. Thais Raquel Martins Filippo is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on neurorecovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke. Her research spans critical areas including robotic-assisted gait training, cortical plasticity, and functional assessment tools. Dr. Filippo’s most impactful contribution is a 2015 case report (20 citations) that raised awareness about fracture risk during robotic treadmill training in SCI patients, directly influencing clinical safety protocols by recommending pre-therapy bone densitometry. She further advanced the field by demonstrating that electroencephalography (EEG) can serve as a biomarker for functional recovery in SCI (2021, 17 citations), a longitudinal study that opened new avenues for non-invasive monitoring of cortical plasticity. Her literature review on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Wolf Motor Function Test (2013, 5 citations) provided clinicians with evidence-based guidance for evaluating upper limb recovery after chronic stroke. Dr. Filippo’s work bridges the gap between rehabilitation technology and patient safety, while pioneering EEG-based biomarkers that could transform how clinicians track neurological recovery. Her contributions are particularly valuable for researchers developing personalized rehabilitation protocols and for clinicians seeking objective measures of functional improvement.
