About
Dr. Sandra Montes is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on developing accessible, technology-driven interventions for stroke recovery in low-resource settings. Her most cited work, a 2016 pilot randomized trial, directly addresses the critical gap in post-stroke care in Mexico by comparing traditional therapy to a cost-effective circuit training program within a robot/technology-assisted therapy gym. This landmark study, garnering 84 citations, demonstrated that scalable, technology-enhanced rehabilitation can significantly improve motor outcomes while reducing the need for intensive one-on-one therapy—a transformative approach for healthcare systems with limited clinical resources. Dr. Montes’s contributions extend beyond clinical innovation; she is a pioneer in translating high-tech rehabilitation into practical, sustainable models for low- and middle-income countries. Her work has not only shaped rehabilitation protocols in Mexico but also inspired global efforts to democratize access to evidence-based stroke care. Through her research, Dr. Montes continues to empower patients and clinicians alike, proving that impactful neurorehabilitation need not be prohibitively expensive.
