About
I am Dr. Sharath Hullumani V, a dedicated healthcare professional specializing in neonatology and pediatric physiotherapy.
Born on November 9, 1994, I have always possessed a passion for knowledge and a commitment to advancing research in my field. I completed my BPT from RGUHS in 2017 and my MPT in Paediatrics from NITTE in 2020, followed by an MD in Acupuncture from Open International University for Complementary Medicine, Colombo, from 2020-2022 and PhD in 2026 from DMIHER.
My research career began with my undergraduate study on mirror therapy in stroke patients and continued into my postgraduate dissertation, where I investigated the effects of barefoot walking on flat feet in school-going children through a randomized controlled trial. I successfully passed the Ph.D. entrance examinations at both NITTE University (November 2022) and Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research (January 2023), earning a scholarship to support my doctoral research.
I am a prolific researcher with a strong publication record, including [120+] peer-reviewed articles. My publications can be found in reputable journals such as Plos One, Cureus, F1000Research and Neurology India with indexed in Web of Science (WOS) and [58+] in Scopus [35+]. These publications reflect my commitment to evidence-based practice and contribute to the expanding body of knowledge in pediatric rehabilitation, neurological conditions, and innovative physiotherapy techniques. My expertise extends to various study designs, including randomized controlled trials, case reports, and systematic reviews, ensuring a comprehensive approach to research. I am familiar with copyright regulations related to scholarly publications.
My first Author for 26 publications and corresponding author for 97 Publications and co-author for 6 publications.
My most notable publications include:

I actively seek opportunities to expand my research capabilities and secure funding for innovative projects. I am exploring grant opportunities to further my research in [neonatal respiratory support or early intervention strategies].
I am an active member of several professional organizations, holding lifetime memberships in the Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP), Karnataka State Physiotherapy Federation (KSPF), International Association of Neuroscience (IAN), and InSc. I am also a member of the Neuro-Development Treatment Association (NDTA).
Beyond research and publications, I actively participate in national and international conferences, presenting my work and chairing scientific sessions.
I was honored to receive the Young Researcher Award in 2021 and the Significant Contributor award at the Dayanand Sagar National Conference in 2023. From July 2023 to the present, I have also served as the Teaching and Learning Coordinator, R&D Incharge at DMIHER, contributing to the academic environment and fostering a culture of research and innovation.
My ultimate goal is to contribute significantly to the healthcare community by advancing knowledge through rigorous research, promoting best practices in patient care, and mentoring future generations of healthcare professionals. I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in neonatology and pediatric physiotherapy, driven by a commitment to improving the lives of children and their families.
