I'm an engineer, with a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and a PhD in Neuroscience. I worked as a bioengineer at the largest public hospital in Latin America in the area of orthosis and prosthesis. I was a research assistant in a motor control laboratory at the University of São Paulo. I am currently a professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Federal University of ABC. I seek to understand the gait and posture of people with movement disorders, especially Parkinson's disease. Both in the biomechanical and neural aspects. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Freezing of Gait (FoG), a debilitating motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD), manifests as sudden and unpredictable difficulty initiating or maintaining forward movement. These episodes significantly impact daily activities, increase fall risk, and diminish the quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease (pwPD). Current diagnostic methods lack objectivity, making it challengin…
Freezing of Gait (FoG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is a relatively common symptom that appears mainly at the beginning of gait and has an essential impact on the quality of life of these patients. Despite being a motor behavior, it is observed that cognitive and emotional factors can both trigger them and be used as strategies to minimize them. This study will investigate whether emotiona…
Quantitative measures of postural control are necessary to measure the balance of patients with Parkinson's disease. Data from postural control in a quiet posture measured through the force plate contribute to identify possible changes in the balance between the stages of the disease and the effects of dopaminergic medication. A public data set including quantitative measures of postural …
