Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Physical therapy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Physical therapy, Low back pain, Lumbar, Physical exercise and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His Psychosocial research extends to the thematically linked field of Physical therapy. His Low back pain study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rehabilitation, Proprioception, Cross-sectional study, Pain catastrophizing and Range of motion.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Electromyography, Magnetic resonance imaging and Modic changes in addition to Lumbar. His Physical exercise research integrates issues from Aerobic exercise, Obesity, Randomized controlled trial and Clinical trial. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation study combines topics in areas such as Visual analogue scale, Chronic neck pain, Neck pain, Cervical spine and Prospective cohort study.

His most cited work include:

  • Scoring of patellofemoral disorders (849 citations)
  • The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (503 citations)
  • Effects of Persistent Physical Activity and Inactivity on Coronary Risk Factors in Children and Young Adults The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (391 citations)

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

Simo Taimela focuses on Physical therapy, Low back pain, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Internal medicine and Lumbar. Simo Taimela does research in Physical therapy, focusing on Rehabilitation specifically. His work carried out in the field of Low back pain brings together such families of science as Odds ratio, Cohort study, Young adult, Visual analogue scale and Magnetic resonance imaging.

Simo Taimela has researched Young adult in several fields, including Epidemiology, Pediatrics, Physical exercise, Physiology and Risk factor. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Endocrinology and Cardiology. His research integrates issues of Proprioception and Electromyography in his study of Lumbar.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical therapy (53.43%)
  • Low back pain (32.84%)
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (16.18%)

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

  • Randomized controlled trial (13.73%)
  • Physical therapy (53.43%)
  • Visual analogue scale (7.35%)

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

His primary areas of study are Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Visual analogue scale, Surgery and Low back pain. His Physical therapy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychological intervention, Odds ratio, Quality of life, Occupational safety and health and Cohort. His study explores the link between Odds ratio and topics such as Young adult that cross with problems in Intervertebral disk and Lumbar.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rehabilitation and Prospective cohort study. His Visual analogue scale research focuses on subjects like Clinical trial, which are linked to Statistical significance and Receiver operating characteristic. His research combines Cohort study and Low back pain.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Subacromial decompression versus diagnostic arthroscopy for shoulder impingement: randomised, placebo surgery controlled clinical trial. (62 citations)
  • Psychosocial and lifestyle correlates of musculoskeletal pain patterns in adolescence: a 2-year follow-up study. (35 citations)
  • Accumulation of psychosocial and lifestyle factors and risk of low back pain in adolescence: a cohort study. (24 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Physical therapy

His primary areas of investigation include Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Visual analogue scale, Low back pain and Cohort study. His Randomized controlled trial research focuses on Internal fixation and how it relates to Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Prospective cohort study, Institutional review board and Informed consent. His Physical therapy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quality of life and Cohort.

His research in Quality of life intersects with topics in Back pain, Occupational safety and health and Confidence interval. His work in Cohort addresses issues such as Psychological intervention, which are connected to fields such as Response rate. His Cohort study research incorporates elements of Overweight, Obesity, Epidemiology and Psychosocial, Psychiatry.
