About
Sergio Alejandro Abanto-Perez is a rising researcher dedicated to advancing stroke rehabilitation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). His work centers on the intersection of neurorehabilitation, health technology, and global health equity. Abanto-Perez’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the effectiveness of technology-based interventions—such as virtual reality, robotics, and telerehabilitation—for improving upper limb motor function after stroke. His 2020 protocol and 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis (each with 2 citations) provide critical evidence on how digital tools can overcome barriers like high rehabilitation costs and limited access in resource-constrained settings. By focusing on LMICs, where 69% of stroke incidence occurs, he addresses a critical gap in rehabilitation research. His work is notable for its practical implications: demonstrating that affordable, scalable technologies can enhance motor recovery and functional independence. Abanto-Perez’s research is foundational for clinicians, policymakers, and engineers seeking to implement cost-effective stroke care in underserved populations, making him a key voice in the push for equitable neurorehabilitation worldwide.
