Benefits and challenges of promoting minimally supervised therapy in a rehabilitation clinic
Increasing the therapy time can benefit patients in multiple ways. Group therapy (e.g., technology-assisted) allows clinics to increase the therapy dose for patients without increasing the workload for therapists. However, in practical implementation, some challenges often arise (e.g., patients not liking it) that limit the efficacy of group therapy. The aim of this project is to gain practical experience with group therapy sessions (i.e., supporting group therapy sessions at the Clinica Hildebrand in Brissago), identify barriers and benefits related to group therapy, and propose guidelines to improve the integration of group therapy in clinical practice.

Mechanistic Evaluation of taVNS in Motor Adaptation for Stroke Rehabilitation
This study aims to evaluate the mechanisms by which transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may facilitate motor learning and adaptation, focusing on reticulospinal tract (RST) activation. A set of assessments will be used to build a comprehensive neurophysiological profile, providing insights relevant to developing taVNS-based clinical interventions. In this role, you will engage in study design, data collection, and analysis, gaining hands-on experience in mechanistic neurophysiological research with direct clinical applications.
