About
Lisa Mailleux is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focus on understanding and quantifying sensorimotor impairments in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP). Her work bridges robotics and clinical assessment to unravel how deficits in bimanual coordination, proprioception, and tactile function affect daily life. In her highly cited 2023 study (17 citations), she introduced novel robotic methods using the Kinarm exoskeleton to precisely measure bimanual coordination, addressing a critical gap in objective, task-specific assessment. Her 2022 work on robotic assessments of hand position sense (7 citations) established reliable protocols for quantifying proprioceptive deficits, a key but often overlooked impairment. More recently, her 2025 study maps the full spectrum of somatosensory dysfunction—tactile and proprioceptive—in both the more- and less-impaired upper limb, identifying subgroups most affected. By combining robotic precision with clinical relevance, Mailleux’s research is shaping how clinicians evaluate and target interventions for children with uCP, directly impacting rehabilitation strategies for improved motor function and independence.
