Rate My Professor Renuka Roche

Her research specializations encompass motor control and auditory-motor adaptation in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), rehabilitation practices for muscular dystrophies, skeletal muscle physiology and recovery in dysferlin-deficient models, and occupational performance deficits following COVID-19. Key publications include “A hypothesized role for dysregulated bradykinin signaling in COVID-19 respiratory complications” (The FASEB Journal, 2020, co-authored with JA Roche), “Extensive mononuclear infiltration and myogenesis characterize recovery of dysferlin-null skeletal muscle from contraction-induced injuries” (American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2010), “Auditory and visual information do not affect self-paced bilateral finger tapping in children with DCD” (Human Movement Science, 2011), “Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) can adapt to perceptible and subliminal rhythm changes but are more variable” (Human Movement Science, 2016), “Diltiazem improves contractile properties of skeletal muscle in dysferlin-deficient BLAJ mice, but does not reduce contraction-induced muscle damage” (Physiological Reports, 2018), “The effects of concentric and eccentric training in murine models of dysferlin-associated muscular dystrophy” (Muscle & Nerve, 2020), “A qualitative study of current rehab practices for muscular dystrophies” (2020), “Protection against severe illness versus immunity—redefining vaccine effectiveness in the aftermath of COVID-19” (2023), and “Extruded alginate tubes with myogenic potential” (2024). Roche's publications have amassed hundreds of citations, contributing to advancements in occupational therapy, neuromuscular rehabilitation, and pandemic-related health research.
