The group has a long and consolidated experience of participation in funded research projects as well as collaboration and technology transfer to industry at international and national level, also supported by a reliable network of academic and non-academic partners. The research activity is addressed to the multiple aspects of the quantification of motor function both from the point of view of the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system and from that of motor control, in terms of characterization of development and evaluation of performance in the healthy and pathologic subjects. The fields of application range from clinics (methods for primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, diagnosis, and monitoring) to sport (performance quantification and injury prevention), including methods (development of methods and tools) and models (characterization and description of motor function in specific populations).
Skills of the research group:
- Technologies and methods for movement analysis: clinics, ergonomics, sport
- Technologies and methods for personalized medicine: from prevention to treatment
- Technologies and methods for monitoring and rehabilitation
- Technologies and methods for healthy and active aging and prevention of falls
- Artificial Intelligence for risk stratification and prediction of adverse events and trajectories of functional decline
- Technologies and methods for the quantification and monitoring of the maturation of motor control in the age of development (typical and pathological)
- Advanced processing of biomedical data and signals, models and algorithms
- Design of Personal Health Systems and Smart Environments
