About

Daniel Boari Coelho is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring motor function following spinal cord injury (SCI). His work lies at the intersection of non-invasive brain stimulation and robotic-assisted therapy, exploring how these technologies can synergistically enhance cortical plasticity and gait recovery. In his most-cited study, "Neurorehabilitation in spinal cord injury: Increased cortical activity through tDCS and robotic gait training," Coelho demonstrated that combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with robotic gait training significantly amplifies cortical activity in SCI patients, offering a promising pathway to improve locomotor outcomes. This work, already garnering 4 citations shortly after its 2025 publication, underscores his impact in a rapidly evolving field. Coelho’s contributions are notable for bridging basic neuroscience with clinical application, providing evidence-based protocols that could transform rehabilitation paradigms. His research is particularly valuable for students and clinicians seeking to understand how targeted brain stimulation can augment the benefits of robotic therapy, ultimately aiming to restore independence and quality of life for individuals with neurological injuries.
