Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul (UNICSUL). Pró-Reitoria de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Paulo holds a Ph.D. from the Biomechanics and Movement Science Graduate Program at the University of Delaware [Newark, DE, USA] (2009). He did a postdoctoral internship at the Department of Neurology at Penn State College of Medicine [Hershey, PA, USA] between 2017 and 2019. He is currently Full Professor at Cruzeiro do Sul University, working as a researcher in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Health Sciences. Paulo is a member of the Society for Neuroscience and the Brazilian Society of Motor Behavior (SOCIBRACOM). Paulo has experience in the area of human movement, with an emphasis on motor control and biomechanics. Her research interests are centered on the following themes: assessment of neuromuscular function, hand function, gait, and postural control. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The minimum height of the foot in relation to the ground also known as minimum toe clearance (MTC) that happens in the mid-swing phase is a critical event for success in walking. At that moment, the foot moves forward with a speed 3 times greater than the speed of the center of mass and passes about 2 cm from the ground. The joint angles of the swing and support lower limbs and the pelvis…
The peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a major comorbidities arising from diabetes mellitus (DM). Despite the high incidence, diagnosis usually occurs too late and after the examination of electromyography (EMG). Although signs and symptoms are exacerbated in the legs and feet, we decided to study hands due its effects are systemic. Our early studies showed that the percentage of gri…
The ability to manipulate objects (hand function) is crucial for people to keep an independent lifestyle. One could visualize the challenges a person that, for any reason, lose his/her ability to use the hands encounters to perform simple tasks such as dressing, using silverware to feed him/herself, handwriting, driving a car. Therefore, the importance of hand function in people's life ju…
The diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the major comorbidities of the diabetes mellitus (DM). Despite its high incidence, diagnosis often occurs late and after the examination of electroneuromyography (ENMG). A simple way to detect neurological disorders in diabetic patients with and without neuropathy is to make them grasp and hold an object instrumenting as stable as possibl…
The ability to successfully manipulate object is crucial for maintaining an independent lifestyle. It depends on the individual's capability to prevent object slippage by controlling and coordinating the forces applied against the digits-object interaction. Many neurological diseases affect the ability to manipulate objects and, also, the force control and coordination. For instance, indi…
