About
Erika Rizzo is a clinical neuropsychologist whose research centers on motor cognition disorders, particularly limb apraxia, and the innovative application of virtual reality (VR) technologies in neurorehabilitation. Her most cited work, "Limb apraxia in individuals with multiple sclerosis: Is there a role of semi-immersive virtual reality in treating the Cinderella of neuropsychology?" (2022, 17 citations), has been pivotal in drawing attention to the often-overlooked motor planning deficits in multiple sclerosis—aptly termed the "Cinderella" of neuropsychology. Rizzo’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between traditional apraxia assessment and cutting-edge VR interventions, demonstrating how semi-immersive environments can enhance motor learning and functional recovery. Her research has significant implications for developing accessible, engaging therapies that improve daily living skills in neurological populations. With a growing citation impact, Rizzo is establishing herself as a leading voice in the integration of digital health tools into clinical neuropsychology, advocating for patient-centered approaches that prioritize real-world functionality. Her work continues to inspire new avenues for treating complex motor-cognitive deficits.
