About
Dr. Lisa Tedesco Triccas is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in stroke recovery and multiple sclerosis. Her work focuses on restoring upper limb function through innovative combinations of non-invasive brain stimulation, particularly transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and robot therapy. Her most influential study, a double-blinded randomized controlled trial (80 citations), demonstrated that pairing anodal tDCS with unilateral robot therapy can significantly improve motor recovery in sub-acute and chronic stroke patients. She has also advanced the field through systematic reviews examining the efficacy and optimal dosing of rehabilitation for severe upper limb impairments in early stroke (21 citations). Beyond quantitative outcomes, Dr. Tedesco Triccas values patient perspectives, as shown in her qualitative work exploring the experiences of stroke survivors undergoing these technologies (21 citations). Her mixed-methods research extends to multiple sclerosis, where she investigates perceived improvements from robotic therapy. By integrating rigorous clinical trials with patient-centered insights, Dr. Tedesco Triccas is shaping more effective, personalized neurorehabilitation strategies that bridge technology and real-world recovery.
