Planned and implemented an individualized transspinal stimulation (tSCS) and locomotor-training program for individuals with spinal cord injury, integrating neurophysiological and biomechanical assessment to evaluate functional status, safety, and response to intervention.
Conducted noninvasive spinal and brain neuromodulation experiments and translated evoked-potential and EMG-based assessment protocols into clinical training practice.
Assessed movement variability and fall risk in healthy and clinical populations using nonlinear dynamics and machine-learning techniques, informing the planning of individualized gait-training protocols.
Developed and implemented a sideways-walking intervention to enhance motor function and reduce fall risk in community-dwelling older adults, from feasibility testing through outcome evaluation.
Statistical computing and data analysis using R and MATLAB for biomechanical and neurophysiological data processing.
Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NLME) for analyzing complex biomechanical and neurophysiological data with hierarchical structures.
Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation using Visual3D and OpenSim for biomechanical analysis of human movement.
Quantification and analysis of movement variability using nonlinear dynamics and time-series analysis techniques.
D-Flow software for virtual reality-based gait analysis and training.
Robotic-assisted gait training using the Lokomat system for rehabilitation of individuals with neurological impairments.
The Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) is the world’s most advanced biomechanical lab.
Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL) system for advanced gait analysis and rehabilitation using virtual reality environments.
Transcutaneous spinal cord electrical stimulation (tSCS) protocols and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques for neuromodulation and neurophysiological assessments.
Assessment of functional status, risk factors, and response to intervention in individuals with spinal cord injury, aging-related fall risk, and neurodevelopmental conditions, and safe design and implementation of individualized neuromodulation and gait-training programs.
Screening and assessment of motor development in children using standardized tools (e.g., MABC-2), and design of developmentally-appropriate, individualized and group physical education programs for children with typical and atypical motor development, including those with special educational needs.
Planning and coordination of interdisciplinary research programs, including an NIH-funded spinal cord injury locomotor-training program and a CoBRE pilot project on movement variability, integrating adapted physical education within multidisciplinary rehabilitation and research teams.
Teaching and curriculum development for undergraduate core, compulsory-elective, and specialization courses in Motor Development, Inclusive Programs in Physical Education, Biomechanics, and Motor Control at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the University of Extremadura — training students in the design and implementation of individualized and group exercise programs for people with disabilities, special educational needs, and systemic conditions.
Person-first, psychologically-informed support for individuals with disabilities and their families — communicating assessment results and program goals in accessible terms, fostering motivation and adherence to individualized programs, and centering psychological well-being and quality of life alongside physical and motor outcomes.
