About
Alex Martino Cinnera is a neurorehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic therapy, brain stimulation, and neurological recovery. His research focuses primarily on upper limb rehabilitation following stroke, spinal cord injury, and cerebral palsy, with a growing interest in combining technology-driven interventions to maximize functional outcomes. His most influential contribution, a 2021 systematic review of clinical guidelines for upper limb robotic rehabilitation after stroke (56 citations), helped bridge the persistent gap between research evidence and real-world clinical practice. Building on this foundation, he has explored how non-invasive brain stimulation techniques — including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and cortico-cortical stimulation — can enhance the efficacy of robot-assisted therapy, with rigorously designed randomized controlled trials underpinning these investigations. His work extends across patient populations, from adults with chronic stroke and cervical spinal cord injury to children with cerebral palsy, where he has examined tools like the Lokomat exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation. With over 180 cumulative citations, Cinnera's research is shaping how clinicians select, combine, and personalize robotic and neurostimulation protocols — making him an emerging voice in evidence-based neurorehabilitation science.
