About
David H. Hawkes is a researcher in biomechanics and rehabilitation science, with a primary focus on the neuromuscular control of shoulder function. His most cited work, "Correlation of the movement deviation profile of shoulder muscle EMG with measures of shoulder function" (2013), introduces a novel method for linking electromyographic (EMG) patterns of shoulder muscles to clinical assessments of movement quality. By developing a movement deviation profile, Hawkes provides a quantitative framework to evaluate how muscle activation deviations correlate with functional impairments, offering valuable insights for diagnosing and rehabilitating shoulder pathologies. Though his citation count is modest, this work underscores his commitment to bridging basic neuromuscular science with practical clinical applications. Hawkes’ contributions are particularly relevant for researchers and clinicians seeking objective, data-driven tools to assess shoulder dysfunction, and his approach holds potential for advancing personalized rehabilitation strategies. His work exemplifies the integration of rigorous biomechanical analysis with patient-centered outcomes, making it a foundational reference for those studying shoulder muscle coordination and its impact on functional movement.
