About

Sabina Insalaco is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the integration of robotic and digital technologies to restore function after stroke. Her work centers on robot-assisted therapy for both upper and lower limb recovery, with a particular focus on gait, balance, and daily task performance. Insalaco’s major contributions include demonstrating that combining robotic gait training with balance-specific robotic therapy yields superior outcomes for subacute stroke patients compared to gait training alone—a finding published in 2022 that has already garnered 23 citations. She has also advanced the field by showing that robot-assisted upper limb therapy can match or exceed conventional approaches, with her 2023 study on motion analysis of daily tasks accumulating 22 citations. Notably, Insalaco pioneered a tailored, robot-mediated upper limb rehabilitation protocol based on clinical assessments, addressing the critical need for individualized treatment. Her recent work explores telerehabilitation models and aperiodic EEG changes following virtual reality-based robotic therapy, pushing the boundaries of home-based and neurophysiological assessment. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating robotic innovation into practical, patient-centered protocols, Insalaco is shaping the future of post-stroke rehabilitation.
