About
Alfonso Magliacano is a rising figure in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the recovery of patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI). His research centers on two transformative, technology-driven approaches: cognitive rehabilitation using non-immersive virtual reality and physical rehabilitation through robotic-assisted verticalization. Magliacano’s major contributions lie in designing rigorous, multicentric randomized controlled trials that test these novel interventions. His 2025 protocol for a VR-based cognitive rehabilitation study (2 citations) outlines a restorative approach to harness neuroplasticity in sABI patients with mild-to-severe cognitive impairments. Simultaneously, his 2025 protocol for combined robotic verticalization and lower limb mobilization (1 citation) addresses the critical need for safe upright posture recovery, using a tilt table with robotic-assisted cyclic mobilization to reduce cardiovascular risks. Though early in their citation impact, these works are foundational, setting the stage for evidence-based protocols that could redefine early rehabilitation standards. Magliacano’s work is notable for its translational focus—bridging engineering, neuroscience, and clinical practice—and for its potential to improve functional outcomes in one of the most challenging patient populations.
