What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
- Electromyography
Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Electromyography, Reflex, Isometric exercise and Elbow are his primary areas of study.
He combines subjects such as Stroke, Hemiparesis, Physical therapy and Muscle contraction with his study of Physical medicine and rehabilitation.
His research in Electromyography intersects with topics in Metacarpophalangeal joint, Anatomy, Motor control, Noise and Psychophysics.
When carried out as part of a general Reflex research project, his work on Stretch reflex and Ankle jerk reflex is frequently linked to work in Body movement, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
The concepts of his Isometric exercise study are interwoven with issues in Intermittent hypoxia, Index finger, Communication and Action potential duration.
He has researched Elbow in several fields, including Biceps, Torque and Forearm.
His most cited work include:
- Abnormal Muscle Coactivation Patterns During Isometric Torque Generation at the Elbow and Shoulder in Hemiparetic Subjects (515 citations)
- Abnormal Muscle Coactivation Patterns During Isometric Torque Generation at the Elbow and Shoulder in Hemiparetic Subjects (515 citations)
- Understanding and treating arm movement impairment after chronic brain injury: progress with the ARM guide. (398 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Electromyography, Reflex, Stroke and Isometric exercise.
William Z. Rymer is interested in Spasticity, which is a field of Physical medicine and rehabilitation.
His work in Electromyography tackles topics such as Motor unit which are related to areas like Muscle contraction, Dorsum, Motor unit recruitment and Neurophysiology.
William Z. Rymer focuses mostly in the field of Reflex, narrowing it down to matters related to Anatomy and, in some cases, Spinal cord.
His study in Stroke is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Paresis, Thumb and Weakness.
His Isometric exercise study incorporates themes from Index finger, Chronic stroke and Contraction.
