About

Daniele Coraci is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, whose work bridges the critical gap between cognitive neuroscience and physical therapy. His primary research focuses on the role of **cognitive reserve**—the brain’s resilience to damage—in shaping recovery outcomes for patients with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and severe acquired brain injury. Coraci’s major contributions include demonstrating how cognitive reserve can guide the choice between robotic and conventional upper limb rehabilitation after stroke, a finding published in a 2019 study that has garnered 26 citations. He has also shown that cognitive reserve significantly influences the effectiveness of balance rehabilitation in Parkinson’s disease (26 citations) and that virtual reality (VR) can enhance both motor and cognitive outcomes in lower limb therapy (25 citations). His work is notable for its practical impact, offering clinicians evidence-based criteria to personalize rehabilitation treatments. With over 50 total citations across his most influential papers, Coraci’s research is shaping the future of precision rehabilitation, where a patient’s cognitive status is as important as their physical impairment.
