Study Center of Neurocognitive Rehabilitation

What Study Center of Neurocognitive Rehabilitation does

Centro Studi di Riabilitazione Neurocognitiva (CSRNC) is a public institution under the Istituzione Comunale Villa Miari in Santorso, Italy, founded in February 2002 by Prof. Carlo Perfetti to develop, clinically apply, and teach Neurocognitive Rehabilitation (Teoria Neurocognitiva, TNC). It operates the Villa Miari clinical facility — 10 residential beds and 5 day-hospital beds — delivering exercise-based cognitive therapy primarily for post-stroke, cerebral palsy, and traumatic brain injury patients, in partnership with regional health authority AULSS 7 Pedemontana.

The center's commercial and educational engine is its multi-tier practitioner certification pathway, structured as Basic, 1st Level, Triennium, and Biennium courses, with published tuition ranging from roughly €50 (Basic) to about €2,082.50 (Biennium). Graduates enter an international registry of certified Experts (40+) and Teachers (17) and gain access to ongoing methodological updates. Revenue is generated through (i) course tuition, (ii) clinical service contracts with the public health system, (iii) publications and a journal distributed via a mobile application, and (iv) licensing fees from authorized external training centers operating under agreement in Italy, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Austria, and the UK, with newer sites in the Philippines, Barcelona, UManresa, and planned Japan activity.

At 14 employees, the center is small but institutionally durable: it is housed within a municipal institution, partners with AULSS 7 Pedemontana for clinical throughput, and since October 2023 maintains a doctoral research partnership with IUSS Pavia that confers academic legitimacy. The principal strategic question facing the organization is methodological continuity following Prof. Perfetti's death in December 2020 and the gradual transfer of authority to successors within the scientific directorate.

Emerging players

• Saebo: US company specializing in affordable upper-limb rehab devices and clinician training for stroke and neurological injury. Comparable in pairing rehabilitation products with practitioner education, and competing for adoption within the same neuro-rehab clinical community.
• MindMaze: Swiss digital neuro-rehabilitation platform combining gamified therapy, VR, and AI for stroke and brain injury recovery. Comparable as a technology-enabled alternative targeting the same neurologic patient population and competing for clinical/training adoption in the same rehabilitation category.

Regional players

• Burwood Hospital Brain Research and Repair Centre: New Zealand-based specialist brain injury rehabilitation and research unit within a public hospital system. Comparable as a public-sector neuro-rehabilitation center combining clinical care with research output, though geographically focused on the Canterbury region and the NZ system.

Broad incumbents

• Centre for Neuro Skills: US post-acute brain injury rehabilitation provider operating residential and outpatient programs with associated clinical training. Comparable as a specialty neuro-rehab operator with an emphasis on training and methodology-driven outcomes, though TBI-focused and US-only.
• Shirley Ryan AbilityLab: Large US research hospital focused on integrated medical, scientific, and rehabilitation care for stroke, TBI, and spinal cord injury. Comparable as a leading neurology rehabilitation institution that combines clinical care, research output, and professional training, but operates at vastly greater scale and broader scope.
• IRCCS Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi: Italian non-profit network of rehabilitation hospitals and research centers with strong neuro-rehabilitation programs and clinician training. Comparable as an Italian multi-site operator offering intensive neuro-rehab, research, and education, and a potential domestic competitor for patient referrals and training market share.
• IBITA (International Bobath Instructors Training Association): International body that certifies Bobath instructors worldwide and accredits training courses. Comparable to the Centro Studi's Scuola Internazionale RNC in certifying instructors and standardizing a competing neuro-rehabilitation methodology across geographies.
• Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation: US-based inpatient rehabilitation hospital system specialized in neurological recovery (stroke, TBI, MS). Comparable as a specialty neuro-rehab provider with strong outcomes focus and clinician education programs, though at much larger scale and without a single eponymous methodology.

Direct peers

• Bobath Centre: UK-based specialist center combining intensive neurological rehabilitation for adults and children with a global Bobath training program. Highly comparable to Centro Studi in combining a residential/day clinical facility with a tiered professional training school in a niche neuro-rehab methodology.
• Asociación Española de Rehabilitación Neurocognitiva Perfetti: Barcelona-based authorized partner teaching Perfetti's Neurocognitive Rehabilitation methodology — the same theoretical framework as the subject company — under a license from Centro Studi. Operates introductory and basic courses in Spain and acts as the primary international extension of the same methodology.
