About
Dr. Christina Petrucci is a leading researcher in paediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise on motor learning strategies (MLS) for children with acquired brain injury (ABI). Her major contribution lies in developing and validating tools to systematically document how physiotherapists apply MLS in clinical settings, a critical step toward understanding treatment effectiveness. Her most-cited work, a 2021 study on the Revised Motor Learning Strategies Rating Instrument, established the inter- and intrarater reliability of this tool, enabling clinicians to objectively describe the motor learning content of therapy sessions. With 9 citations, this foundational research has already begun shaping evidence-based practice in paediatric ABI rehabilitation. Dr. Petrucci’s work bridges the gap between motor learning theory and clinical application, providing a rigorous framework for future studies on skill-based interventions. Her achievements highlight a commitment to improving functional outcomes for children with brain injuries, making her a notable voice in the field of paediatric physiotherapy and neurorehabilitation research.
