Sandeep K Subramanian

Sandeep K Subramanian is an Associate Professor with Tenure in the Department of Physical Therapy at The School of Health Professions, UT Health San Antonio. His research focuses on optimizing upper extremity recovery post-stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI), with expertise in motor control, motor learning, and the application of virtual reality (VR) and non-invasive brain stimulation. He has authored over 20 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and his work includes systematic reviews on genetic influences on recovery and VR-based interventions.

• Education: D.P.T. (Doctor of Physical Therapy), Ph.D. in Health Sciences, M.Sc., B.P.Th.
• Institutes: Center for Biomedical Neurosciences

His research interests emphasize leveraging technology to enhance neurorehabilitation outcomes, particularly through VR platforms and motor learning principles. He has explored the efficacy of interventions like Tai Chi for Alzheimer’s patients and the role of exercise priming in Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Subramanian also serves on editorial boards for neurorehabilitation journals and reviews articles in his field.

His publications highlight trends in genetic factors influencing stroke recovery, meta-analyses of VR interventions, and the interplay between pain, depression, and TBI outcomes. He actively seeks Ph.D. and M.S. students interested in advancing neurorehabilitation research.
