Profile Summary

I am a Physiotherapist and, currently, a motor development researcher - PhD level - at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. I have been researching motor adaptation in progressive disorders, especially spinal muscular atrophy. Muscular dystrophy is another area of my research interesting, and I have been developing studies about quality of life in this population. I also have experience in translation, cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric analysis of motor scale, which I developed in my Master in Science Rehabilitation at the University of São Paulo in 2016. And I have an extensive background in systematic review and scoping review with publications in this kind of study.
