About
Ann Hallemans is a leading researcher in human movement biomechanics, with a primary focus on gait analysis, motor development, and rehabilitation engineering. Her work bridges fundamental biomechanics and clinical application, particularly in understanding how the nervous system controls movement across the lifespan and after neurological injury. She has made major contributions to the study of atypical gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy and in older adults, as well as to the development and evaluation of robotic exoskeletons for post-stroke rehabilitation. Her highly cited research, including foundational work on infant gait development and the biomechanics of walking in pathological populations, has garnered thousands of citations, reflecting its deep influence on both clinical practice and rehabilitation technology design. Notably, her recent pilot randomized trial on exoskeleton-assisted training in subacute stroke (2024, 4 citations) investigates the critical timing of robotic therapy for enhancing lower limb motor recovery, underscoring her commitment to optimizing rehabilitation windows. Hallemans’ work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of biomechanics, motor control, and neurorehabilitation.
