Dr Pelicioni is an early career researcher who undertakes interdisciplinary research at the intersection of physiotherapy, medical science and public health, focused on falls in older people and people with neurological disorders. His fields of expertise are: (i) developing and optimising clinical tools for assessments and neurorehabilitation; (ii) investigating the effects of physical exercise on falls prevention; (iii) understanding the mechanisms of falls; (iv) examining motor control and biomechanics involved with gait and balance control; (v) understanding the functionality of healthy and pathological brains. Dr Pelicioni is a postdoctoral fellow working on a research study to test eHealth and smart garment technologies to prevent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease.
