Coerentemente con la nostra mission, il gruppo, attraverso l’Education & Research Department, è votato ad esplorare i limiti del nostro campo e a condividere le conoscenze con la comunità, all’interno di una visione più ampia, che coinvolga tutto il mondo della Sports Medicine.
Tutta la nostra attività scientifica é coerente con il nostro contesto ed incentrata sulla descrizione della natura degli infortuni, dal meccanismo traumatico fino al completo recupero e al ritorno alla performance.
Nel corso degli anni, la creazione di forti collaborazioni di ricerca, ha facilitato la diffusione di conoscenze a vantaggio di colleghi da tutto il mondo. Queste collaborazioni si basano su una forte relazione e una visione comune.
Il gruppo di ricerca clinica dell’Education & Research Department, capitanato dal Dr. Matthew Buckthorpe e dall’Ing. Stefano Di Paolo, è costantemente al lavoro per codificare gli aspetti più importanti del nostro lavoro e tradurli in articoli a favore della comunità e del processo per i nostri pazienti. Nel corso degli anni il nostro gruppo ha avuto l’onore di pubblicare sulle più importanti riviste del settore, tra cui il British Journal Sports Medicine (BJSM) e l’American Journal of Sports Medicine (AJSM).
Articoli pubblicati
Pubblichiamo diverse forme di articoli scientifici, dagli studi originali ai commentari clinici, creando cultura di settore. Ogni articolo viene poi spiegato in modo sintetico attraverso infografiche e presentazioni. Successivamente, viene portato a una comunità più ampia tramite media tradizionali e nuovi.
