Andrea Macaluso

Andrea Macaluso is an Associate Professor at the University of Rome 'Foro Italico' in the Department of Human Motor Sciences and Health. He leads the Laboratory of Bioengineering and Neuromechanics of Movement and coordinates the Master's Degree in Preventive and Adapted Motor Activities (LM67). His research focuses on neuromuscular adaptations, sports injury prevention, and rehabilitation, particularly in aging populations and neurological conditions. He teaches courses like 'Movement therapy for elderly populations' and 'Human and Sport Physiology'.

Research interests include neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), spinal excitability modulation, ACL injury mechanisms, and biomechanical analysis of motor control. His work emphasizes translating neurophysiological findings into clinical applications for improving functional recovery in patients and athletes.

Recent articles highlight investigations into NMES effects on spinal excitability in Multiple Sclerosis and aging, ACL injury prevention strategies, and neuromechanical adaptations post-surgery. He collaborates on international projects, including the European Master in Health and Physical Activity (LM67INT).

No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his contributions to sports medicine and rehabilitation are significant. He advises on course curricula and oversees lab activities without stated student advisees.
