About
Antonio Buda is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, virtual reality (VR), and brain-computer interfaces. His primary focus is on leveraging cutting-edge technology to restore motor and cognitive function in patients with severe neurological conditions. Buda’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering use of EEG to demonstrate how VR-enhanced robotic gait training (using the Lokomat) can measurably improve motor performance, a finding published in a 2017 study that has garnered over 250 citations. He has further shown that this combined approach can boost cognitive function in traumatic brain injury survivors and improve motor control in Parkinson’s disease, notably through the CAREN system. Buda’s work also explores the psychological dimensions of recovery, correlating self-efficacy and post-stroke depression with rehabilitation outcomes. His research on overground exoskeletons to promote neuroplasticity in myotonic dystrophy highlights his commitment to expanding neurorehabilitation to rare, underserved populations. With a portfolio of highly cited, clinically relevant studies, Buda is a key figure in the movement toward technology-driven, holistic neurological recovery.
