About
S. Nardella’s research sits at the intersection of biomechanics, neuroscience, and industrial ergonomics, with a central focus on understanding and optimizing human movement in demanding work environments. Her major contribution lies in applying advanced neuroscientific measurement techniques—specifically, the analysis of electromyographic (EMG) signals—to extract reduced-order muscle synergies. In her most cited work, a 2019 preliminary study with 17 citations, she assessed upper limb muscle activation patterns during overhead tasks common in the automotive industry. By identifying these fundamental, coordinated muscle groups, Nardella provides a framework for designing more ergonomic tools and workstations, potentially reducing fatigue and injury risk. This approach bridges the gap between fundamental motor control research and practical industrial applications, offering a data-driven path to safer, more efficient workplaces. Her work is particularly notable for translating complex neural activation data into actionable insights for engineers and safety professionals, making her a key voice in the emerging field of neuroergonomics.
