DEL FELICE ALESSANDRA

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. She has attracted funding at UNIPD, with an on-going H2020 project and several international and national grants.
Her current research area allows her to draw on her experience and skills in neurophysiology and extensive collaboration with national and international medical engineering Departments to improve methodology and outcome measures in this important area of rehabilitation. She has a track record in EEG-TMS and EEG-fMRI co-registration, neuromonitoring and neurostimulation, and EEG signal analysis.
Her current research portfolio includes gait analysis in rare syndromes; validation of inertial sensors for gait in clinical practice; EEG-EMG co-registration during overground gait in healthy subjects and during exsoskleteon gait in post-stroke subjects; early biomarkers of recovery after stroke and to prevent falls in the elderly; neurostimulation as a memory rehabilitative tool in pediatric populations; recovery and long term prognostic markers after coma.
She has an extensive collaborative research network, with current national and international collaborations
She has more than 60 peer reviewed articles or book chapters to her name. She has been given several awards for her work and these include the 2013 Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society Young Investigator Award, the 2008 Italian Neuroepidemiology Association “Giulia Benassi” Prize and the 2004 “G.Pampiglione “ Prize by the Italian Neurological Society. She is the responsible person of the Outpatient Clinic for Rehabilitation of Motor Disorders due to CNS lesions and of the Movement Analysis Laboratory of her Institution.
