I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University Medical Center Groningen (Netherlands). I hold a dual Ph.D. degree from the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation and Functional Performance (Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo) and the Department of Human Movement Sciences (University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen - Netherlands), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tibor Hortobágyi. In 2019, I completed a four-month Research Internship Abroad (BEPE) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andrew Sawers. I hold a Master's degree in Sciences from the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto in the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation and Functional Performance. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education and Sports from the School of Physical Education and Sports of Ribeirão Preto (EEFERP-USP) and a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy from the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto (FMRP-USP). Additionally, I have training in Global Postural Reeducation / Sensorimotor Reprogramming (RPG / RSM) and Acupuncture from the Instituto Paulista de Estudos Sistêmicos, as well as a technical degree in Dance from Studium Carla Petroni Technical Dance School. I have conducted research on children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and patients with Parkinsons Disease, but my primary interest lies in healthy aging. My current focus is on the kinetic and kinematic analysis of gait in older adults, particularly through the study of muscle synergies and corticomuscular and intermuscular coherence. At present, I analyze large datasets to explore the relationships between environmental, personal, and lifestyle factors with healthy living habits and health outcomes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Aging affects several skills, such as gait and posture. Balance during gait is a critical factor in determining the quality of life, but it is complex to be evaluated. Tests with this purpose have been developed for clinical practice, but they are not usually sensitive to discriminate intermediate balance levels. Walking on a balance beam involves the reduction of the base of support, acc…
During locomotion in daily activities, we respond to environmental and task changes by adjusting the length and width of our steps. For this purpose, anticipatory, predictive and reactive control strategies are used, composing the adaptive locomotion. The adaptive locomotion control allows the necessary adjustments to begin at a certain distance in the tasks such as obstacle avoidance, st…
The addition of haptic information through the anchor system improves postural control and this effect appears to be more effective in more challenging postural tasks, since in these tasks there is a greater need for integration and effective use of the additional information. Although the previous study carried out by the student has shown a reduction in the variability of the trunk when…
