A. Murgia

Dr. A. Murgia is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medical Sciences (University of Groningen), specializing in neuromechanical adaptation in aging, rehabilitation, and neuro-musculoskeletal disorders. Their work develops rehabilitation technologies focused on improving quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments, particularly through upper limb prostheses and arm support systems.

• Research spans musculoskeletal modeling, virtual reality training, and biomechanical analysis
• Funded by EU Horizon 2020, STW Netherlands, and Ministry of Economic Affairs

Research interests include:

• Neuromechanical outcomes in clinical conditions
• Virtual reality for motor learning in prosthetics
• Muscle co-activation patterns in dystrophy
• Elbow joint biomechanics post-arthroplasty
• Biomechanical factors in clubfoot recurrence
• Wearable assistive technologies

Article trends combine biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and computational modeling, focusing on prosthetic control, musculoskeletal disorders, and rehabilitation technologies.
