About

Dr. Evangelia Dislaki is a pioneering researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focus on leveraging virtual reality (VR) and robotics to improve motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Her most cited work, "Virtual Reality Aided Training of Combined Arm and Leg Movements of Children with CP" (2013, 22 citations), introduces a groundbreaking robotic rehabilitation environment that simultaneously trains upper and lower limbs—mimicking real-life movement patterns. By integrating the Lokomat gait robot with VR, Dr. Dislaki’s approach addresses the critical need for holistic, engaging therapy that enhances motor control and cognitive engagement in children affected by CP, a condition impacting over 2 in 1,000 live births. This work exemplifies her commitment to translating engineering innovations into practical, patient-centered solutions. Her contributions have influenced the design of interactive rehabilitation systems, inspiring further research into combined limb training for pediatric populations. With a career dedicated to bridging technology and clinical care, Dr. Dislaki continues to shape the future of accessible, effective neurorehabilitation for children with movement disorders.
