Research Interest:Rehabilitation, Physiotherapy, Physical Therapy, Stroke, Amputee, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons Disease, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Electroencephalography, Neuroplasticity, Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, Prosthetics.

Research Interest: Assistive Technology, Virtual Reality Therapy, Physical Dysfunction Rehabilitation, Human-Computer Interaction

Research Interest:New tools for rehabilitation of stroke (robot-therapy, virtual reality), rehabilitation of muscle-skeletal disease, spine and rheumatic diseases assessment and rehabilitation (Gait Analysis study, goniometer assessment).

Research Interest:Novel forms of optokinetic stimulation to enhance neuroplasticity of the brain’s balance and voluntary movement systems for recovery of voluntary movements and mobility after severe strokes, traumatic brain injuries and critical illness polyneuropathy. Other areas of interest include falls, reduced mobility in the elderly and both central and peripheral vestibular dysfunction. The main thrust is on investigating how visual-vestibular interactions enhance recovery and rehabilitation after severe neurological insults.

José António Rodrigues Lumini de Oliveira holds a PhD in Physical Activity and Health (University of Porto, 2010) and is a Specialist in Physiotherapy (2021). He also has advanced training in Osteopathy and Acupuncture, combining traditional and integrative approaches with evidence-based practice.

Currently, he is Coordinator Professor and Member of the Scientific Council at ISAVE – Instituto Superior de Saúde, where he also serves as Vice-director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Health Sciences (CICS). He is an Invited Professor at the Faculty of Sports, University of Porto, and a member of several research centers, including CIR (IPP), CIAFEL, LABIOMEP, and ITR and collaborates with international institutions as Tor Vergata, university in Rome, Italy.

Dr. Oliveira has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed publications in journals such as International Journal of Cardiology, Journal of Voice, Sports Medicine, and Frontiers in Medicine. His research focuses on rehabilitation sciences, exercise physiology, pain management, integrative therapies, environmental physiotherapy, and digital health.

Speaking, Portuguese, English, Spanish and French, he has extensive experience in national and international funded projects (FCT Portugal, CYTED, Erasmus+), supervision of MSc and PhD theses. His work aligns closely with Erasmus+ priorities in innovation, sustainability, digital transformation, and intercultural dialogue in health sciences education.
