About

Dr De Nunzio is a leading expert in the field of Human Motion Analysis and Motor Outcome evaluation. He has 17 years of experience in research and clinics in Sensory-Motor Integration and Motor Rehabilitation. His main interest is Functional Biomechanics applied in the Clinic. Dr De Nunzio research activities deal with sensory integration, motor control and learning in normal and pathological human conditions (neurological disorders like Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke) with a special interest in locomotion, dynamic posture and upper limb motor tasks. His research interests also include the evaluation of motor rehabilitation with robotic devices and limb orthoses and new methodologies for chronic pain treatment (e.g. Phantom Limb Pain). Dr De Nunzio received his Master Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Genoa, Italy, in 2002, the PhD degree in Physiological Sciences from the University of Pavia, Italy in 2006. Till 2008 he was a research scientist at the Centre for Motor Activities Studies of the Salvatore Maugeri Foundation, Research institute of Pavia, Italy. From 2006 to 2007 he was Professor for the courses of “Biomechanics” and “Methods and techniques of human motion analysis” within the Faculty of Motor Science, University of Pavia, Italy. He was the director of two Human Motion Laboratories: from 2009 to 2012, at the Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Research Unit of the Salvatore Maugeri Foundation, Benevento, Italy; from 2012 to 2014, at Neurorehabilitation Unit of the Neurological Mediterranean Institute – NEUROMED, Isernia, Italy. From 2014 to 2016 he was a Marie Curie experienced researcher for the EU Project MYOSENS at the Department of Translational Research and Knowledge Management, Ottobock Healthcare, Duderstadt, Germany. He moved to the University of Birmingham in May 2016 as Research Fellow at the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Birmingham, UK to lead a high-end Human Motion Analysis Laboratory and promoted to Lecturer in Clinical Biomechanics and Pain in June 2018.
