About
Antonio Ammendolia is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, whose work bridges robotic therapy, neuromodulation, and human-machine interfaces to restore function after neurological injury. His most impactful contribution is a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing exoskeleton versus end-effector robot-assisted therapy for hand recovery in stroke survivors—cited 63 times—which provides critical evidence guiding clinical device selection. He has also pioneered combined approaches, demonstrating how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can augment robot-assisted upper-limb therapy (18 citations) and how botulinum toxin injections can be integrated with rehabilitation for spasticity management (8 citations). Beyond stroke, Ammendolia develops innovative assistive devices, including a mixed-reality powered wheelchair control system for neurodegenerative diseases (6 citations), and applies task-oriented robotic rehabilitation in challenging populations, such as post-ICU obese patients. His work consistently emphasizes practical, patient-centered outcomes, making him a key voice in translating cutting-edge technology into tangible improvements in motor recovery and quality of life.
