About
Angela Comanducci is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the intersection of stroke recovery, robotic therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation. Her work focuses on understanding how innovative technologies—including bilateral and unilateral robot-assisted upper-limb rehabilitation and non-immersive virtual reality—can drive cortical reorganization and restore motor and cognitive function after severe acquired brain injury. In a landmark 2024 pilot randomized controlled trial (8 citations), she demonstrated that bilateral robotic rehabilitation can restore interhemispheric symmetry in stroke patients, offering critical insights into the neural mechanisms underlying motor recovery. Her ongoing multicentric randomized controlled trial (2025) is pioneering the use of virtual reality for cognitive rehabilitation in individuals with severe acquired brain injury, aiming to harness brain plasticity early in recovery. Additionally, her 2025 pilot study (1 citation) explores aperiodic EEG activity as a novel biomarker for stroke-related brain changes following robotic rehabilitation. Comanducci’s work is distinguished by its rigorous experimental design and its potential to translate cutting-edge technology into practical, evidence-based therapies that improve outcomes for patients with devastating neurological injuries.
