About
Dr. Anja Van Campenhout is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation, specializing in the assessment and treatment of upper limb dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy. Her work bridges clinical practice and cutting-edge robotics to unravel the complex interplay of tactile and proprioceptive impairments. In her highly cited study, "Unraveling tactile and proprioceptive upper limb function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy," she pioneered a combined robotic and clinical assessment protocol to map somatosensory deficits in both the more-impaired and less-impaired limbs. This research has been instrumental in identifying distinct subgroups of children with unilateral CP who exhibit more severe sensory integration challenges, enabling more targeted therapeutic interventions. With over 1,000 citations across her body of work, Dr. Van Campenhout’s contributions have reshaped how clinicians understand and quantify sensory-motor deficits. Her innovative use of robotic technology has set a new standard for objective, reproducible assessments in pediatric neurology, directly informing rehabilitation strategies that improve functional outcomes. She continues to advance the field through interdisciplinary collaborations, making her a pivotal figure in evidence-based pediatric neurorehabilitation.
