Overview

Joachim Hermsdörfer is affiliated with the Technical University of Munich in Germany. Their research spans several interconnected fields, primarily in medicine and neuroscience, with a focus on cognitive neuroscience, rehabilitation, neurology, psychiatry and mental health, and physical therapy, sports therapy and rehabilitation.

Their work addresses multiple topics, including motor control and adaptation, stroke rehabilitation and recovery, cerebral palsy and movement disorders, balance, gait, and falls prevention, muscle activation and electromyography studies, multiple sclerosis research studies, and virtual reality applications and impacts.

Recent publications by Joachim Hermsdörfer cover various aspects of neurorehabilitation and augmented reality. Notable papers include:

  • "The impact of visuospatial perception on distance judgment and depth perception in an Augmented Reality environment in patients after stroke: an exploratory study" (2021) published in Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
  • "Kinematic analysis of activities of daily living performance in frail elderly" (2022) published in BMC Geriatrics
  • "Fooling the size-weight illusion-Using augmented reality to eliminate the effect of size on perceptions of heaviness and sensorimotor prediction" (2021) published in Virtual Reality
  • "Improvement of Apraxia With Augmented Reality: Influencing Pantomime of Tool Use via Holographic Cues" (2021) published in Frontiers in Neurology
  • "Immediate Effects of Vibrotactile Biofeedback Instructions on Human Postural Control" (2021) published in the 2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC)

Joachim Hermsdörfer frequently publishes in venues such as Scientific Reports, Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, Frontiers in Neurology, Research Square, and BMC Geriatrics.

Collaboration is a significant component of their research, with frequent co-authors including Philipp Gulde, Peter Rieckmann, Carmen Krewer, Stephanie Schmidle, and Chiara Höhler.
