About
Caroline H. G. Bastiaenen is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focus on improving motor function and walking ability in children with brain lesions, particularly cerebral palsy (CP). Her major contributions center on evaluating the effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) through the pragmatic, bicenter, randomized crossover trial PeLoGAIT, which demonstrated RAGT’s potential to enhance walking in children with CP, garnering 52 citations. She has also advanced understanding of motor learning by investigating contextual interference—comparing blocked versus random practice order of upper limb robotic exergames—in children with brain lesions, with pilot studies laying groundwork for future randomized controlled trials. Her work is notable for its pragmatic, real-world approach, emphasizing feasibility and translational impact in clinical settings. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 80 across her most-cited papers, Bastiaenen’s research informs evidence-based rehabilitation protocols, bridging robotics and neuroplasticity to optimize pediatric therapy outcomes.
