About
Dr. Clare Grodon is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation, with a focused expertise in improving motor function and quality of life for children with severe cerebral palsy (CP). Her work bridges the gap between assistive technology and clinical physiotherapy, particularly for children classified at GMFCS levels IV and V—a population often underserved by conventional exercise interventions. Her most notable contribution is the landmark ‘heROIC’ trial (2023), which rigorously investigated the impact of a robotic rehabilitation trainer on range of movement, functional ability, and overall well-being in this vulnerable group. This study, already garnering 5 citations, is pioneering in its direct application of robotic therapy within special school settings, demonstrating how physiotherapists can leverage technology to facilitate meaningful physical activity where access is typically limited. Dr. Grodon’s work is reshaping how clinicians approach neurorehabilitation, moving beyond traditional therapy to embrace innovative, scalable solutions that empower children with complex disabilities to achieve greater independence and a higher quality of life.
