About
Dr. Astrid Carton de Tournai is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in motor recovery and functional independence for individuals with neurological impairments, particularly after stroke. Her major contribution lies in advancing the evidence base for intensive, bimanual therapy approaches, notably through the development and investigation of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE). This innovative protocol integrates upper and lower limb training to address the complex, multi-system deficits—motor, sensory, and cognitive—that impede social participation and activities of daily living. Her work is distinguished by a strong emphasis on goal-oriented, patient-centered interventions that directly translate to improved quality of life. The 2023 randomized controlled trial protocol for HABIT-ILE in chronic stroke, already garnering 4 citations, underscores the field’s recognition of her contributions. Dr. Carton de Tournai’s research is pivotal in shaping modern rehabilitation strategies, bridging the gap between intensive therapy principles and real-world functional outcomes, making her a key figure for students and clinicians dedicated to optimizing neurorecovery.
