About
Dr. Kamila Reis Santos is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and biomedical engineering, whose work focuses on restoring motor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her key research areas include functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), and robot-assisted gait training. In her most-cited study, she demonstrated how combining tDCS with fNIRS can non-invasively assess and enhance cortical activation during robotic gait therapy in SCI patients—a breakthrough that bridges brain monitoring with rehabilitation robotics. This work, though early in its citation trajectory (4 citations), has laid critical groundwork for closed-loop neurostimulation systems. Santos’s contributions are particularly notable for integrating portable neuroimaging with wearable robotics, offering a scalable approach to personalized rehabilitation. Her research holds promise for improving gait recovery and quality of life in paralyzed individuals, and she is recognized for advancing translational methods that bring lab-based neurotechnology into clinical practice. As a rising voice in neurorehabilitation, Santos continues to explore how real-time brain activity can guide adaptive therapies.
