About
Antonino Naro is a prominent neurological rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the forefront of technology-driven motor and cognitive recovery. His research centers on robotic-assisted rehabilitation, virtual reality (VR) integration, and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying recovery in stroke, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological disorders. Naro's most influential contributions examine how advanced rehabilitation technologies can restore function in patients with motor and cognitive impairments. His 2016 review of robotic gait rehabilitation devices (261 citations) established an essential benchmark for the field, while his subsequent randomized controlled trials demonstrated that combining VR with robotic-assisted gait training meaningfully enhances neurorehabilitation outcomes — work that has collectively attracted hundreds of citations. His EEG-focused 2017 trial (253 citations) was particularly notable for revealing the neurological underpinnings of VR's therapeutic benefits, bridging clinical practice and neuroscience. Beyond motor recovery, Naro has explored cognitive rehabilitation following stroke, investigating whether computerized training and hand robotics can address cognitive decline alongside physical disability. His research on interhemispheric connectivity following robotic hand rehabilitation adds important mechanistic depth to the field. Across a decade of consistently high-impact publications, Naro has helped shape evidence-based standards for integrating emerging technologies into modern neurological rehabilitation.
