Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation

His primary scientific interests are in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Balance, Postural Balance, Physical therapy and Ankle. His research integrates issues of Postural reactions and Vestibular system in his study of Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His work carried out in the field of Balance brings together such families of science as Gait and Stairs.

His study looks at the relationship between Postural Balance and fields such as Gait, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. In his study, Falling is inextricably linked to Dynamic balance, which falls within the broad field of Physical therapy. Ankle and Proprioception are commonly linked in his work.

His most cited work include:

  • Trunk Sway Measures of Postural Stability During Clinical Balance Tests Effects of Age (263 citations)
  • Gait event detection using linear accelerometers or angular velocity transducers in able-bodied and spinal-cord injured individuals. (261 citations)
  • Age-dependent variations in the directional sensitivity of balance corrections and compensatory arm movements in man (254 citations)

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

John H. J. Allum spends much of his time researching Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Balance, Vestibular system, Physical therapy and Proprioception. John H. J. Allum regularly links together related areas like Ankle in his Physical medicine and rehabilitation studies. His Balance research includes elements of Gait, Gait and Stairs.

John H. J. Allum combines subjects such as Habituation and Reflex with his study of Vestibular system. His work deals with themes such as Dynamic balance and Transcranial direct-current stimulation, which intersect with Physical therapy. His Proprioception research incorporates themes from Instability, Communication, Sensory system, Vestibular loss and Stretch reflex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (61.65%)
  • Balance (48.12%)
  • Vestibular system (31.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Balance (48.12%)
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (61.65%)
  • Gait (21.80%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Balance, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Gait, Vestibular system and Audiology. The Balance problems research he does as part of his general Balance study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Pathological, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study in the field of Postural Balance, Biofeedback and Proprioception is also linked to topics like Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and Neurectomy.

His Gait study is concerned with the field of Physical therapy as a whole. Many of his studies on Vestibular system apply to Electromyography as well. He has included themes like Cerebellar ataxia and Vestibular areflexia in his Audiology study.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Combining physical training with transcranial direct current stimulation to improve gait in Parkinson’s disease: a pilot randomized controlled study (71 citations)
  • Applying anodal tDCS during tango dancing in a patient with Parkinson's disease (34 citations)
  • Differences in head impulse test results due to analysis techniques. (20 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery
  • Neurology

John H. J. Allum mostly deals with Audiology, Balance, Gait, Physical therapy and Vestibular system. The Gait study which covers Transcranial direct-current stimulation that intersects with Randomized controlled trial. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Physical therapy.

His studies deal with areas such as Ankle, Brain stimulation, Instability and Eye movement as well as Physical medicine and rehabilitation. The concepts of his Vestibular system study are interwoven with issues in Impulse, Lateral canal, Regression and Reflex. John H. J. Allum works mostly in the field of Reflex, limiting it down to topics relating to Steady state and, in certain cases, Proprioception, as a part of the same area of interest.
