ABOUT ME
Neurophysiological evaluation allows the assessment of peripheral nervous system function and its possible alterations, by a scientific and quantitative approach.
By using nerve ultrasound, we can understand if a symptom/sign and a function impairment are linked to morphological alterations of a nerve.
Through motion analysis, we can understand the impact of a patient's disease on motor performance.
My experience in the evaluations mentioned above and my education in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Neuroscience allow me to face peripheral nervous system diseases in a multi-perspective way, from diagnosis to rehabilitation. Extensively knowing a person’s problem, by tools able to support Medicine, lets me adequate patient management.
I deal with scientific research, mainly in clinics, which has always given me the possibility to improve my expertise in peripheral nervous system disease.
