Jeegisha Kapila

Jeegisha Kapila serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy within the College of Health Professions at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. Her academic profile demonstrates active engagement in rehabilitation science with particular focus on neuromuscular mechanisms and clinical applications for cervical spine disorders and concussion management.

Her research interests form a distinctive fingerprint spanning critical rehabilitation domains:

• Rigidity and Muscle Strength dynamics
• Joint Position Error and Proprioception mechanisms
• Central Fatigue and Exercise-Induced physiological responses
• Cervical Spine biomechanics and Concussion assessment
• Deep Neck Flexor rehabilitation techniques
• Iliotibial Band and Glenohumeral joint tissue properties

Analysis of her 2020-2024 publications reveals consistent methodological rigor in sports physical therapy research, frequently employing electromyography, shear wave elastography, and randomized controlled trials to investigate neuromuscular control and rehabilitation outcomes. Her work bridges biomechanical analysis with clinical practice, particularly in concussion protocols and tissue stiffness assessment.

With an h-index of 12 and multiple publications generating significant reader engagement (including 91 Mendeley readers for one 2021 article), Dr. Kapila demonstrates growing scholarly impact, though specific awards or fellowships are not documented in available sources. Her research has been disseminated through prominent journals including the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy and Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology.
