Biography
Supervisor for in-vitro and in-vivo research projects in the following areas: multi-instrumental analysis of the functional behaviour of the tibio-femoral and patello-femoral joints, both intact and after prosthesis implantation, and of related soft tissues; analysis of the functional behaviour of the hip joint, both intact and after prosthesis implantation; development of new prosthetic devices for total knee and total ankle replacement; development of new computer-assisted procedures for total knee and total ankle replacement with surgical navigation techniques; assessments of lower limb joint function using gait analysis, video-fluoroscopy and surgical navigation; use of three-dimensional printing (3D-Printing) in the manufacturing of prosthetic prototypes of new conception.
