About

Simona De Salvo is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and cognitive neuroscience, whose work bridges the gap between technology-assisted therapy and functional recovery after brain injury. Her most-cited study, a 2014 case-control hospital-based investigation, demonstrated that computer-assisted training significantly enhances rehabilitative outcomes for patients with acquired brain injuries—a finding that has shaped clinical protocols and inspired further innovation in digital therapeutics. With over 60 citations, this seminal paper underscores her impact on evidence-based rehabilitation. De Salvo’s research primarily focuses on the efficacy of virtual reality and computer-based cognitive interventions, exploring how these tools can rewire neural pathways and restore motor and cognitive functions. Her contributions extend to understanding the neural correlates of recovery, often employing neuroimaging to map brain plasticity. By rigorously evaluating real-world applications of technology in clinical settings, she has provided a robust framework for integrating digital tools into standard care. De Salvo’s work not only advances scientific knowledge but also offers tangible hope for patients striving to regain independence after neurological trauma.
