Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Thomas S. Kiser's research has focused on the neurophysiological effects of spinal cord injury and rehabilitation. His work has investigated the H-reflex, a measure of spinal cord excitability, and how it is affected by conditions such as spinal cord injury and passive exercise. Kiser has explored the use of assistive technologies, like motorized bicycle exercise trainers, to normalize H-reflex habituation and promote recovery of function in individuals with spinal cord injuries. His publications also touch upon related areas, including arousal, visual neglect, and the impact of cold pressor stimulation on perception. Additionally, Kiser has contributed to the literature on pulmonary embolism in rehabilitation patients and the role of venous thrombosis in relation to physical therapy return. His research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Central Arkansas.
