About
Corry K. van der Sluis is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, with a focus on restoring upper limb function after stroke and other neurological conditions. Her work centers on developing and evaluating home-based, technology-driven rehabilitation solutions that bridge the gap between clinical therapy and daily living. Van der Sluis is best known for spearheading the HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN) project, which demonstrated that telerehabilitation using an unactuated device combined with serious games can significantly improve upper limb function in chronic stroke patients—a finding supported by 61 citations. She has also conducted pivotal systematic reviews and meta-analyses (42 citations) confirming the effectiveness of task-specific training with assistive devices over usual care. More recently, van der Sluis has pioneered the use of wearable soft-robotic gloves to support grip strength during activities of daily living, with ongoing clinical trials (iHand) showing promising therapeutic effects. Her research, accumulating over 150 citations, is reshaping how rehabilitation is delivered—moving it from the clinic into the home, empowering patients to regain independence through engaging, evidence-based technology.
