About

Ambra Cesareo is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, specializing in the development and evaluation of innovative technologies to restore motor function in children with acquired brain injuries (ABI). Her work focuses on two critical domains: lower limb rehabilitation for walking recovery and upper limb therapy for hemiplegia. Cesareo’s most impactful contribution is the design and validation of an immersive virtual reality platform that enhances walking ability in children with ABI, a study that has garnered 71 citations and highlights her commitment to engaging young patients through gamified therapy. She has also conducted comparative studies of constraint-induced movement therapy, robot-aided rehabilitation, and standard therapies for upper limb recovery, demonstrating her rigorous approach to evidence-based practice. Her 2018 preliminary study on upper limb rehabilitation (20 citations) underscores the immediate quality-of-life benefits of targeted interventions. By integrating virtual reality and robotics into pediatric care, Cesareo is pioneering accessible, motivating treatments that improve functional outcomes and long-term independence for children with brain injuries.
