About
Montserrat Bernabeu is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on restoring motor function after stroke. Her work centers on the intersection of robotic-assisted gait training and non-invasive brain stimulation, exploring how technology can enhance recovery in sub-acute neurological patients. In her seminal 2012 observational study (43 citations), she provided critical early evidence on the functional outcomes of intensive robotic versus manual gait training, identifying patient characteristics that most benefit from automated therapy. Her 2017 investigation (41 citations) rigorously examined whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could amplify the effects of robot-assisted gait training, concluding that the combined approach did not yield significant enhancements—a finding that has shaped subsequent research protocols. Bernabeu’s contributions are vital for clinicians and engineers designing evidence-based rehabilitation programs, as she systematically evaluates which interventions truly improve patient outcomes. Her work, cited by peers in stroke rehabilitation and neuroengineering, underscores a commitment to rigorous, patient-centered research that challenges assumptions and refines therapeutic strategies for sub-acute stroke recovery.
