About
Boudewijn J. Kollen is a leading figure in rehabilitation research, with a primary focus on stroke recovery and the efficacy of innovative therapeutic technologies. His most impactful contribution is a landmark 2007 systematic review on robot-assisted therapy for upper limb recovery after stroke, which has garnered nearly 1,500 citations. This seminal work critically evaluated early evidence on robotic interventions, setting the stage for a generation of clinical trials and shaping rehabilitation protocols worldwide. Beyond this, Kollen’s research spans motor control, functional recovery, and the rigorous assessment of physiotherapy outcomes. His work is distinguished by a commitment to evidence-based practice, often synthesizing complex data to guide clinicians and researchers. With a career marked by high-impact publications, Kollen has helped bridge the gap between engineering and clinical rehabilitation, demonstrating how robotic tools can augment traditional therapy. His systematic review remains a foundational reference, underscoring his role in advancing post-stroke care and inspiring ongoing innovation in neurorehabilitation.
