About
Dr. Aasta P. Gandhi is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on noninvasive neuromodulation and motor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work centers on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a tool to enhance hand function in individuals with tetraplegia, addressing a critical need for independence in daily life. In her seminal 2017 study, "Improved grasp function with transcranial direct current stimulation in chronic spinal cord injury," Dr. Gandhi demonstrated that tDCS significantly improves grasp strength and dexterity in chronic SCI patients, offering a promising, low-risk intervention for a condition with limited treatment options. This work, cited 42 times, has influenced subsequent clinical trials and rehabilitation protocols, highlighting her impact on the field. Dr. Gandhi’s contributions bridge neuroscience and clinical practice, providing evidence-based pathways to restore function and quality of life. Her research continues to inspire new approaches in neuromodulation, making her a pivotal figure in advancing rehabilitation science for SCI survivors.
