Biomechanical study of the foot and ankle kinematics of runners: scientific collaboration and student coorientation

Abstract

Paolo Caravaggi, senior and principal investigator at the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, declare my intent to participate in the FAPESP funded project entitled "Biomechanical and functional aspects of the musculoskeletal system of runners: chronic effects of therapeutic exercise and ageing" (FAPESP 2015/14810-0 ) to be conducted at the Department of Physical Therapy, Speech and Occupational Therapy, School of Medicine, University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), under the scientific guidance and coordination of Associate Professor Isabel Sacco during the year 2018.During the same period, I agree to collaborate on other research activities conducted by Dr. Isabel Sacco such as the implementation of integrated methodology for pedobarography and kinematics in the new Labimph site, and to help in the co-orientation of doctoral student Alessandra Bento Matias (FAPESP fellow) and in lecturing at the FMUSP Rehabilitation Sciences Program "Processing and analyze of biological data".
