Overview

Dr Sanchez is an assistant professor of research in the Division of Biokinesioloy and Physical Therapy. The primary goal of her research is to understand the neuromuscular, biomechanical and physiological control of locomotion and how this control changes after neural injury. This knowledge will aid develop targeted rehabilitation interventions that can improve walking ability in people with movement impairment, thus contributing to independence and reintegration in the community of people with movement disorders.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
