About
Dr. Nicola Mattiuz is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation and robotic technologies to restore motor function after stroke. His work focuses on the intersection of sensory integration, postural control, and gait recovery, addressing the complex neural deficits that limit mobility in chronic stroke survivors. Dr. Mattiuz’s major contributions include demonstrating that robot-assisted stair climbing training can significantly improve postural control and the brain’s ability to integrate sensory inputs—a critical but often overlooked aspect of balance recovery. He has also pioneered the combined application of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation during robot-assisted gait training, showing that this dual-target approach can enhance locomotor outcomes beyond conventional therapy. His most cited works, with 30 and 26 citations respectively, are randomized controlled trials that set new standards for evidence-based neurorehabilitation. By merging advanced robotics with neuromodulation, Dr. Mattiuz is shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation for patients with chronic neurological impairments.
