Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Central nervous system

His primary areas of study are Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Anatomy, Electromyography, Spinal cord injury and Treadmill. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation course of study focuses on Paraplegia and Spinal shock and Anesthesia. His work on Upper limb as part of general Anatomy research is frequently linked to Gastrocnemius muscle, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His studies in Electromyography integrate themes in fields like Ankle, Motor control and Reflex. His Spinal cord injury research includes elements of Physical therapy, Activities of daily living and Neuroplasticity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Leg muscle, Weight-bearing and Locomotor activity.

His most cited work include:

  • Treadmill training of paraplegic patients using a robotic orthosis (928 citations)
  • Guidelines for the conduct of clinical trials for spinal cord injury as developed by the ICCP panel: spontaneous recovery after spinal cord injury and statistical power needed for therapeutic clinical trials (571 citations)
  • Human neuronal control of automatic functional movements: interaction between central programs and afferent input (534 citations)

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

Volker Dietz focuses on Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Spinal cord injury, Reflex, Anatomy and Neuroscience. His work deals with themes such as Physical therapy and Treadmill, which intersect with Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His Spinal cord injury study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rehabilitation, Anesthesia, Neuroplasticity and Central nervous system disease.

His Reflex research integrates issues from Proprioception, Stimulation and Sural nerve. His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Leg muscle and Motor control. His Neuroscience research focuses on Spasticity and how it relates to Paresis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (50.31%)
  • Spinal cord injury (33.96%)
  • Reflex (28.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (50.31%)
  • Spinal cord injury (33.96%)
  • Reflex (28.93%)

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

His main research concerns Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Spinal cord injury, Reflex, Neuroscience and Stimulation. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation study incorporates themes from Rehabilitation, Physical therapy, Neurorehabilitation and Hand movements. His Spinal cord injury study is associated with Spinal cord.

His Reflex research incorporates themes from Somatosensory system, Gait, Motor control, Ulnar nerve and Forearm. His study looks at the intersection of Neuroscience and topics like Lesion with Lumbar enlargement. The study incorporates disciplines such as Electromyography and Sensory system in addition to Anatomy.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Three-dimensional, task-specific robot therapy of the arm after stroke: a multicentre, parallel-group randomised trial (297 citations)
  • Restoration of sensorimotor functions after spinal cord injury (127 citations)
  • The physiological basis of neurorehabilitation--locomotor training after spinal cord injury. (88 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery

His primary scientific interests are in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Spinal cord injury, Neuroscience, Spinal cord and Neuroplasticity. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rehabilitation, Physical therapy and Neurorehabilitation. His Spinal cord injury study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gait, Multicenter trial and Exercise therapy.

His Spinal cord research includes elements of Translational research and Clinical trial. His study in Neuroplasticity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Central nervous system, Functional training, Neurology, Rehabilitation engineering and Withdrawal reflex. The concepts of his Electromyography study are interwoven with issues in Forearm, Anatomy, Biomechanics, Facilitation and Ulnar nerve.
