Alessandra Del Felice

Alessandra Del Felice is an academic clinician in the area of Neurorehabilitation. Her basic training has been as a neurologist, with a special interest in neurophysiology and neurorehabilitation, and holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience.

Her current research area allows her to draw on her experience and skills in neurophysiology to improve methodology and outcome measures in this important area of rehabilitation, stressing the interdisciplinary nature of this research. Techniques that she masters include gait analysis, electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), EEG-TMS co-registrations, and EEG signal analysis.

Her current research portfolio includes EEG-EMG co-registration during overground gait in healthy subjects and during exsoskleteon gait in post-stroke subjects during gait; development of rehabilitative protocols and wearable devices to reduce loss of balance in the elderly; validation of inertial sensors for gait in clinical practice; early biomarkers of recovery after stroke; recovery and long term prognostic markers after coma.

Alessandro Salvalaggio

Alessandro Salvalaggio is a neurologist, researcher (RTD-A) at the Department of Neuroscience of the University of Padova.

He graduated in Medicine and Surgery in 2012 and completed his residency in Neurology in 2018 at the University of Padova. He completed his PhD in Neuroscience in 2022 at Padova Neuroscience Center, with a thesis on brain disconnection in focal lesions (stroke, gliomas).

Main interests:

  • Impact of brain tumors and cancer treatments on clinical outcomes (cognitive and neurological impairment, survival) mediated by structural and functional disconnection.
  • Neurological complications of cancer.
  • Transthyretin amyloidosis and peripheral neuropathies.

Mario Bonato

Mario Bonato (Master Degree in Experimental Psychology, PhD in Cognitive Science) is a neuropsychologist. He has specific clinical expertise in post-stroke cognitive assessment. Among young researchers, dr Bonato is considered a leading expert in the assessment of visuo-spatial disorders. He devised a very sensitive computer-based dual-task method for the diagnosis of hemispatial neglect following unilateral brain damage. This approach mimics everyday demands and might become the gold standard for the diagnosis of hemispatial neglect in the chronic phase (Bonato, 2015).

He published mostly as leading author (first and corresponding), several scientific articles, in the most widely read and better-ranked peer-reviewed international journals for neuropsychology and experimental psychology.
