Eva Rudjord Therkildsen

Eva Rudjord Therkildsen is a Guest Researcher in the Motor Control group at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Her work focuses on human motor physiology and pathological movement disorders, with institutional affiliation centered at Blegdamsvej 3B in Copenhagen.

Her research explores spinal reflex modulation, neuromuscular disorders, and therapeutic interventions for upper motor neuron syndromes. Key investigations include pharmacological manipulation of spinal pathways using calcium channel blockers, transspinal direct current stimulation effects on motor output, and pathophysiological mechanisms of spasticity and muscle cramps. This work bridges basic neurophysiology with clinical rehabilitation applications through human and animal model studies.

Analysis of her 2020-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on electrophysiological assessment of motor control, with increasing emphasis on non-invasive neuromodulation techniques for movement disorders. Her work demonstrates strong collaboration within Copenhagen's neuroscience community, particularly with J.B. Nielsen's research group, targeting translational applications for spinal cord injury and stroke rehabilitation.

Therkildsen actively contributes to Motor Control research within Copenhagen's neuroscience infrastructure, utilizing advanced neurophysiological methodologies to investigate reflex pathways and therapeutic interventions. Her recent publications indicate ongoing experimental work with transspinal stimulation and pharmacological approaches to modulate pathological motor patterns.
