Dr Rodrigo Vit贸rio鈥檚 research is focused on better understanding the neural correlates of mobility (i.e., walking and balance) impairments and developing enhanced assessments and interventions.
His projects combine portable brain imaging technologies (e.g., EEG/fNRS), movement analysis (e.g., inertial sensors) and neurophysiology (e.g., motor-evoked potentials) to identify people at risk of falling and brain areas suitable to be targeted by interventions. His Vice-Chancellor鈥檚 Fellowship aims to develop non-invasive brain stimulation (e.g., tDCS) as a treatment option for mobility impairments in people with Parkinson鈥檚 disease.
