About

Sara Laxe is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on post-stroke motor recovery and the integration of advanced therapeutic technologies. Her work critically examines the efficacy of combining non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), with robotic-assisted gait training to enhance functional outcomes in stroke patients. Her most cited study, a rigorous clinical trial involving patients with subacute stroke, demonstrated that tDCS does not significantly augment the benefits of robot-assisted gait training, challenging prevailing assumptions and guiding more targeted rehabilitation protocols. With over 41 citations, this landmark paper has shaped clinical decision-making and future research directions. Laxe’s contributions extend to refining rehabilitation strategies, emphasizing evidence-based practice, and exploring the neural mechanisms underlying motor recovery. Her work is widely referenced by clinicians and scientists seeking to optimize post-stroke therapies, and she is recognized for her rigorous methodological approach and commitment to translating experimental findings into practical, patient-centered interventions.
