About
Dr. Matheus Oliveira Lacerda is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, with a primary focus on restoring mobility and function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). His most cited work, a 2017 systematic review on robotic-assisted gait training for SCI patients (121 citations), critically evaluated the efficacy of this technology in improving motor recovery and functional capacity. This seminal paper established a foundational evidence base for integrating robotic exoskeletons into clinical rehabilitation protocols. Beyond this, Dr. Lacerda’s research spans the physiological and psychological impacts of SCI, including muscle recruitment, motor planning, and secondary complications such as bowel and urinary dysfunction. His contributions have directly informed rehabilitation strategies that combine robotic assistance with traditional therapy, offering new hope for enhanced quality of life. With a citation count reflecting his influence, Dr. Lacerda is recognized for bridging engineering and clinical practice, advancing patient-centered solutions that translate technological innovation into tangible rehabilitative outcomes.
