About
Gregorio Salce’s research sits at the critical intersection of neurology, rehabilitation, and post-viral pathology, focusing on how COVID-19 disrupts the body’s fundamental sensory and motor systems. His most cited work, “Balance and visual reliance in post-COVID syndrome patients assessed with a robotic system” (2021, 19 citations), is a landmark study demonstrating that post-COVID patients exhibit a profound multi-sensory integration deficit, becoming dangerously over-reliant on vision to maintain balance. This finding, uncovered using a novel robotic assessment platform, redefined our understanding of “long COVID” as a disorder of central sensory processing rather than just pulmonary damage. Building on this, Salce’s 2023 study on “Sarcopenia and Multisensory Integration Deficit” broke new ground by linking muscle wasting in relatively young, fatigued outpatients to their neurological deficits, suggesting a vicious cycle of sensory confusion and physical deconditioning. His work is notable for its methodological rigor—using robotic systems to quantify what was previously subjective—and for shifting clinical focus toward integrated rehabilitation strategies. With a growing citation base, Salce is emerging as a key voice in understanding how viral illness can fundamentally rewire the brain’s relationship with the body.
