Main research activities/topics/projects

The research will be focused on the design and validation of laboratory protocols for assessing the effect of treatments in orthopaedic rehabilitation. In collaboration with therapists, several tasks will be selected and analysed with different motion capture system both based on markers (VICON) and markerless, i.e. IMUs or videos. The aim is to define a laboratory procedure which is both reliable and rapid for being used in clinical practice.
