#73: Entrevista a Leonardo Boccuni

En esta entrevista, charlo con Leonardo Boccuni, fisioterapeuta italiano que acaba de presentar su tesis doctoral por la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona sobre prehabilitación de tumores cerebrales mediante neuromodulación cerebral no invasiva y terapia intensiva, dentro del Proyecto PREHABILITA, del Institut Guttmann (Barcelona, España). Leonardo nos habla sobre este proyecto, su originalidad y complejidad, debido a la confluencia de áreas como la neurocirugía, neuroimagen, neurofisiología, neurorrehabilitación y programación informática. Además, nos cuenta sus aprendizajes en la investigación y práctica clínica sobre la neurorrehabilitación del miembro superior.
