About
Dr. Fides M. Pacheco is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work centers on developing predictive models and optimizing rehabilitation strategies to restore walking function. In her highly cited 2009 study, she developed and tested a clinically relevant prediction model for determining over ground walking speed following 36 sessions of body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) in individuals with motor incomplete SCI. This retrospective review, which has garnered 36 citations, provides clinicians with a valuable tool to forecast recovery outcomes and tailor interventions. Dr. Pacheco’s contributions have advanced the understanding of how targeted locomotor training can enhance mobility, offering hope and evidence-based guidance for patients and rehabilitation specialists. Her research continues to shape protocols for improving quality of life after neurological injury, making her a respected voice in the field of SCI rehabilitation.
