Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Anatomy
  • Electromyography

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Electromyography, Muscle contraction, Anatomy, Motor unit and Spinal cord injury. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Anesthesia and Stimulation. Her studies in Muscle contraction integrate themes in fields like Muscle fatigue and Electrophysiology.

Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Contraction under Anatomy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Thumb and Twitch interpolation. Her research in Motor unit intersects with topics in Motor neuron, Motor unit recruitment and Isometric exercise. Her Spinal cord injury study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Preferred walking speed, Physical therapy, Spasticity, Adverse effect and Reflex.

Her most cited work include:

  • Motor-unit recruitment in human first dorsal interosseous muscle for static contractions in three different directions (182 citations)
  • Human motor-unit recruitment during isometric contractions and repeated dynamic movements. (171 citations)
  • Muscle weakness, paralysis, and atrophy after human cervical spinal cord injury (112 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her primary scientific interests are in Anatomy, Spinal cord injury, Motor unit, Electromyography and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. Her Anatomy research incorporates themes from Motor neuron and Spinal cord. Her Spinal cord injury study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Anesthesia, Physical therapy, Spasticity, Stimulation and Plateau potentials.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Muscle fatigue, Internal medicine, Central nervous system disease and Motor unit recruitment in addition to Motor unit. Her Electromyography study incorporates themes from Isometric exercise, Contraction, Electric stimulation and Muscle contraction. Her study on Muscle activity is often connected to Population as part of broader study in Physical medicine and rehabilitation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (57.27%)
  • Spinal cord injury (65.45%)
  • Motor unit (44.55%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Spinal cord injury (65.45%)
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (38.18%)
  • Spasticity (17.27%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Christine K. Thomas mainly investigates Spinal cord injury, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Spasticity, Physical therapy and Anatomy. Her Spinal cord injury research includes elements of Rehabilitation, Anesthesia and Functional electrical stimulation. Christine K. Thomas interconnects Paraplegia and Stimulation in the investigation of issues within Anesthesia.

Her Physical medicine and rehabilitation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Motor unit and Thoracic spinal cord injury. The concepts of her Motor unit study are interwoven with issues in Plateau potentials, Motor unit number, Control theory and Motor unit recruitment. Her work on Skeletal muscle, Muscle atrophy and Muscle weakness as part of general Anatomy research is often related to Distribution, thus linking different fields of science.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Understanding Therapeutic Benefits of Overground Bionic Ambulation: Exploratory Case Series in Persons With Chronic, Complete Spinal Cord Injury (57 citations)
  • Understanding Therapeutic Benefits of Overground Bionic Ambulation: Exploratory Case Series in Persons With Chronic, Complete Spinal Cord Injury (57 citations)
  • 3D Imaging of Axons in Transparent Spinal Cords from Rodents and Nonhuman Primates (36 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Anatomy
  • Central nervous system

Her primary scientific interests are in Spinal cord injury, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Neuroscience, Muscle Denervation and Spasticity. Her research in Spinal cord injury intersects with topics in Paraplegia and Sciatic nerve, Axon, Anatomy. Her work in Anatomy addresses issues such as Functional electrical stimulation, which are connected to fields such as Plateau potentials, Motor unit, Motor unit recruitment and Nerve conduction velocity.

The various areas that Christine K. Thomas examines in her Physical medicine and rehabilitation study include Rehabilitation, Physical therapy, F wave, Thoracic spinal cord injury and Depression. Her study in Spasticity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neuropathic pain, Electroencephalography, Preferred walking speed, Adverse effect and Reflex. Christine K. Thomas has researched Anesthesia in several fields, including Electromyography and Muscle contraction.
