Tatsuya Nakanowatari | Medicine and Health Sciences | Best Researcher Award

Dr Tatsuya Nakanowatari, Fukushima Medical University, Japan

Based on Dr. Tatsuya Nakanowatari’s impressive academic background and research achievements, he appears to be a strong candidate for the Best Researcher Award. Below is a summary of his accomplishments:

Publication profile

Scopus

Education and Training

Dr. Nakanowatari holds a PhD in Physiotherapy from the University of Newcastle, Australia (2023) and a Master’s degree in Disability Sciences from Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine (2011). He also has a BS in Physical Therapy from Yamagata Prefectural University of Health Science (2004).

Research and Publications

  1. Loading Asymmetry as a Predictor of Frailty (2024) In a study published in Sensors, Dr. Nakanowatari and colleagues used in-shoe sensors to assess gait asymmetry in community-dwelling older adults. The research identified loading asymmetry as a potential predictor of frailty, a crucial finding for fall prevention and early diagnosis in aging populations.
  2. Detecting Limb Load Asymmetry (2023) In Gait Posture, Dr. Nakanowatari examined limb load asymmetry between fallers and non-fallers among older adults using in-shoe sensors. The study highlighted significant gait differences that can aid in predicting fall risk in elderly individuals, a critical area in physical rehabilitation.
  3. Plantar Force Variation during Treadmill Walking (2024) His preliminary study in Biomedical Human Kinetics explored the effects of walking speed on plantar forces across different foot regions. The research employed force-sensing insoles and provided valuable insights into the biomechanical aspects of gait.
  4. Tensor Fasciae Latae Length and Leg Length Discrepancy (2022) In a study published in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, Dr. Nakanowatari examined the effect of shoe lifts on the tensor fasciae latae using ultrasonic elastography. The findings contributed to understanding how artificial leg length discrepancies impact musculoskeletal health.
  5. Insular Lesion and Perception of Noxious Stimulation (2022) Published in Internal Medicine, this case study involved a patient with a unilateral insular lesion exhibiting bilaterally reduced pain perception. The research provided deeper insight into the neurological mechanisms behind pain perception and the impact of brain lesions.

Conclusion

Dr. Nakanowatari’s research primarily focuses on biomechanics, frailty, and neuromuscular health in older adults. His innovative use of sensor technology for gait analysis and muscle function assessment positions him as an influential figure in physical therapy research. His work is not only advancing scientific understanding but also making practical contributions to improving patient outcomes, making him a strong contender for the Best Researcher Award.
