REHABILITATION OF NEUROLOGICAL DISABILITY

Rehabilitation of Neurological Disability, Neurodevelopmental and Musculoskeletal Origin

Scientific Head: Prof. Sandro Sorbi
The aim of the research area is to explore novel prognosis markers, develop new treatments, and evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation pathways inneurological, neurodevelopmental, and musculoskeletal disorders.

The research area is focused on the development of new rehabilitation programs that rely on the use of quantitative profiles and indicators derived from biological measures (genetics, immunology, and virology-microbiology) as well as digital measures that come from morpho functional imaging and e-Health.

The improvement of rehabilitation medicine towards greater precision, predictiveness and personalisation, goes through a high level of sophistication and through the integration of multiple scientific languages in an innovative “rehabilomics” and quantitative approach.
