Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery

Thomas Sinkjær focuses on Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Anatomy, Reflex, Electromyography and Ankle. His studies deal with areas such as Rehabilitation, Physical therapy and Stroke as well as Physical medicine and rehabilitation. Thomas Sinkjær combines subjects such as Electroneurogram, Internal medicine, Sensory system and Cuff with his study of Anatomy.

He does research in Reflex, focusing on Stretch reflex specifically. He usually deals with Electromyography and limits it to topics linked to Soleus muscle and H-reflex and Positive feedback. His Ankle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Silent period, Treadmill, Tonic and Muscle contraction.

His most cited work include:

  • Spastic movement disorder: impaired reflex function and altered muscle mechanics (393 citations)
  • Muscle stiffness in human ankle dorsiflexors: intrinsic and reflex components. (389 citations)
  • Major role for sensory feedback in soleus EMG activity in the stance phase of walking in man. (299 citations)

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

Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Anatomy, Neuroscience, Stretch reflex and Reflex are his primary areas of study. Thomas Sinkjær has researched Physical medicine and rehabilitation in several fields, including Rehabilitation and Physical therapy. His Anatomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Electromyography, Cuff, Sensory system and Biomedical engineering.

His work on Stimulation and Motor cortex as part of general Neuroscience research is often related to Chemistry, thus linking different fields of science. His Stretch reflex study incorporates themes from Treadmill and Ankle jerk reflex. His Soleus muscle research extends to Reflex, which is thematically connected.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (36.36%)
  • Anatomy (23.14%)
  • Neuroscience (17.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (36.36%)
  • Neuroscience (17.36%)
  • Reflex (17.19%)

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

Thomas Sinkjær mainly investigates Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Neuroscience, Reflex, Stretch reflex and Anatomy. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation research includes themes of Rehabilitation and Stimulation. His Reflex research also works with subjects such as

  • Soleus muscle and related Short latency,
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation that connect with fields like Motor cortex.

His study on Stretch reflex is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Fascicle. His research in Anatomy intersects with topics in Treadmill and Knee Joint. His Electromyography study combines topics in areas such as Ankle, Plantar flexion, Communication and Motor control.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Spastic movement disorder: impaired reflex function and altered muscle mechanics (393 citations)
  • Phase II trial to evaluate the ActiGait implanted drop-foot stimulator in established hemiplegia (100 citations)
  • Cortical excitability changes following grasping exercise augmented with electrical stimulation (96 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery

His primary areas of study are Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Reflex, Electromyography, Anatomy and Stretch reflex. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ankle, Stimulation and Stroke. The various areas that Thomas Sinkjær examines in his Reflex study include Muscle stiffness, Soleus muscle, Hamstring and Sitting.

His research integrates issues of Biomechanics, Plantar flexion, Motor control, Urethra and Afferent in his study of Electromyography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Treadmill and Knee Joint. His study in Fascicle extends to Stretch reflex with its themes.
