Research and collaborations

The Lab activity is primarily devoted to clinical research about motion system, and often it is related to rehabilitation field.

Main objectives are:

• the quantitative evaluation of motion functional ability;
• the evaluation of treatment effects;
• the development of clinical protocols, parameters, biomechanical models able to help the rehabilitation program;
• the improvement of knowledge about posture and motor control mechanisms;
• the application of movement analysis in not-traditional fields.
  

The main topics we focus on are:

• Cerebreal Palsy;
• Lower limb prothesis;
• Down Syndrome;
• Osteoporosis;
• Parkinson's disease;
• Obesity;
• Pregnancy;
• Upper limb modeling;
• Sit To Stand modeling;
• Motion Capture.

The Lab activity is very important for clinical applications in rehabilitation and in general for clinical research about motion system (Orthopaedics, Functional Surgery , Rehabilitation, Neurology, Physiatry…). Collaborations with institutes, labs and firms are numerous in Italy and all over the world.
