Biography
Dr. Themistoklis Tsatalas is a distinguished academic and researcher specializing in biomechanics, with a focus on sports science, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies. He serves as a member of the teaching staff at the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science (DPESS) at the University of Thessaly in Trikala, Greece, since January 2021.
Dr. Tsatalas earned his BSc in Physical Education and Sports Science from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2002, followed by an MSc in "Human Performance and Health" in 2005. He completed his PhD in Biomechanics through the interdepartmental program "Exercise and Quality of Life" in 2011. During his doctoral studies, he received a scholarship from the Institute for Research and Technology of Thessaly (IRETETH), Hellas (CERTH).
In addition to his academic role, Dr. Tsatalas is affiliated with Biomechanical Solutions in Karditsa, Greece, where he contributes to the development of innovative assistive devices and rehabilitation technologies.
His research interests encompass various aspects of biomechanics, including the mechanics and physiological adaptations following eccentric exercise, the development of assistive devices for individuals with disabilities, and the application of wearable gait monitoring systems for patients with cerebral palsy.
Dr. Tsatalas has published numerous research papers in peer-reviewed journals and has presented his work at over 80 national and international conferences. He has also coordinated and participated in several national and European research projects.
Research Interest
Dr. Themistoklis Tsatalas' research interests lie primarily in biomechanics, focusing on the mechanical and physiological adaptations of the human body during physical activity, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies. His work explores the effects of eccentric exercise on muscle performance and injury prevention. Additionally, he is deeply involved in the development of innovative rehabilitation devices for individuals with disabilities, particularly in designing wearable technologies for monitoring gait and movement. Dr. Tsatalas is also interested in the integration of biomechanics with sports science, aiming to optimize performance while minimizing injury risk. His research extends to the application of advanced biomechanical modeling techniques for understanding human movement patterns, especially in individuals with cerebral palsy. Through his work at the University of Thessaly and Biomechanical Solutions, he contributes to both academic and practical advancements in biomechanics, improving health outcomes through the application of biomechanical principles to sports and rehabilitation.
Open Access Policy refers to a set of principles and guidelines aimed at providing unrestricted access to scholarly research and literature. It promotes the free availability and unrestricted use of research outputs, enabling researchers, students, and the general public to access, read, download, and distribute scholarly articles without financial or legal barriers. In this response, I will provide you with an overview of the history and latest resolutions related to Open Access Policy.

This study examined upper limb kinematics under simulated visually impaired conditions. By investigating how upper limb movements adapt in these circumstances, we aimed to gain insights that may prove valuable for both healthy populations and those with clinical conditions. Data, including 3D marker-based motion capture and accelerometer readings, were collected from seven healthy volunteers walking on a treadmill at 1.5 m/s under two conditions: without glasses (NG) and with stroboscopic glasses (G). Each walking condition lasted 2 minutes, an...d two 10-second recordings were analyzed from the midpoint of each session. Contrary to our hypothesis, simulated visual impairment with stroboscopic eyewear at 6Hz did not statistically affect upper limb kinematics, specifically in terms of wrist acceleration and hand distance in the frontal plane. Future research should explore varied visual impairment conditions, extend task durations, and investigate the relationship between subjective gait difficulties and biomechanical data.
