About
Arly dos Santos is a prominent researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on motor recovery and functional independence in individuals with neurological disorders, particularly following stroke. Her key research areas include physiotherapy, robot-assisted gait training (RAGT), and the management of ataxia—a condition characterized by loss of coordination. In her landmark 2018 study, "A Comparative Study of Conventional Physiotherapy versus Robot-Assisted Gait Training Associated to Physiotherapy in Individuals with Ataxia after Stroke," she conducted a randomized controlled trial that demonstrated the superior benefits of combining RAGT with conventional therapy for chronic stroke survivors. This work, which has garnered 74 citations, showed significant improvements in balance, coordination, and daily living activities, even in patients more than a year post-injury. Her contributions have advanced evidence-based rehabilitation protocols, highlighting the potential of robotic technologies to enhance recovery. Through rigorous clinical trials, dos Santos has shaped modern approaches to stroke rehabilitation, making her work essential reading for students and clinicians seeking to understand the intersection of technology and patient-centered care.
